North Dakota Earth Day Patch Contest Deadline Feb. 28
The state Game and Fish Department is once again sponsoring a contest for youth to design an Earth Day patch. North Dakota students ages 6-18 are eligible to participate. The deadline to submit entries is Feb. 28.
Game and Fish will award a $75 savings bond to the winner in three age categories – 6-9, 10-13, and 14-18. The final patch design will be chosen from the three winners.
The winning design will be used on a patch given to members of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H clubs and any school clubs that participate in Earth Day cleanup projects on state-owned or managed lands in North Dakota in April.
The patch should incorporate some aspect of Earth Day – celebrated April 22 – or keeping North Dakota clean. It must be round and three inches in diameter. There is a limit of five colors on the patch, and lettering must be printed. Name, address and phone number of the contestant must be clearly printed on the back of the entry design. Only one entry per person is allowed.
Entries should be mailed to Nathaniel Umphrey, North Dakota Game
and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501.
For information, contact Umphrey at 328-6332; or email ndgf@nd.gov.
