The
state Game and Fish Department’s annual Earth Day awareness campaign is
accepting entries for design of a 2017 Earth Day patch. North Dakota
students ages 6-18 are eligible to participate. The deadline to submit
entries is March 15.
The
Game and Fish Department will announce a winner in three age categories
– 6-9, 10-13, and 14-18. Each winner will receive a pair of 8x32
binoculars. 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 participating in Earth Day cleanup
projects on state-owned or managed lands in North Dakota in April and
May.
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, age and phone number of the contestant
must be clearly printed on the entry form. Only one entry per person is
allowed.
Earth Day contest rules and entryforms
are available on the Game and Fish Department’s website, gf.nd.gov. For
more information, contact Pat Lothspeich by email at ndgf@nd.gov, or
