Kansas Arbor Day Poster Contest

5th Grade Arbor Day Poster Contest

The Kansas 5th Grade Arbor Day Poster contest is a yearly contest that includes 5th graders from around the state! This contest is both an artistic and educational program. A differing theme surrounding trees is selected, then a curriculum is created to educate students on a given years theme. Then students are asked to create a poster that will be entered into the statewide competition.

Every year 4 district winners are chosen by our 4 community district foresters, then those 4 winners are then voted on by Kansas Forest Service staff and sponsors to crown a 5th Grade Arbor Poster Contest state winner!
