The Person Soil & Water Conservation District sponsors annual environmental education contests for all students in Person County. These contests encourage students to think critically about conservation and natural resources, while helping us stay connected with local schools and youth. Cash prizes are awarded to both students and teachers. 

Poster Contests for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades

For the 2026-2027 academic school year, the contest theme is "Soil & Water...Yours for Life!" 

Additional details for the 2026-2027 contest will be posted soon!

First place winners advance to the Area 3 competition, which represents these eleven counties: Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Guilford, Lee, Montgomery, Moore, Orange, Person, Randolph, and Rockingham. Area winners will then advance to the State competition.
