The State Game and Fish Department is seeking entries for design of a North Dakota Earth Day patch. The deadline for submitting entries is Jan. 31, and contestants must be North Dakota residents between ages 6-18, according to Jeb Williams, outreach biologist.
"We sponsored this event last year with the idea of bringing attention to our state's natural resources," Williams said. "It was well received based on the number of entries that were submitted."
A $75 savings bond will be awarded 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 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.
The winning design will be used on a patch given to members of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, and 4-H clubs that participate in Earth Day cleanup projects on state-owned or managed lands in North Dakota in April.
Entries should be mailed to Jeb Williams, North Dakota Game and Fish Department, 100 N. Bismarck Expressway, Bismarck, ND 58501. For information, contact Williams at 328-6332; or email jwilliam@state.nd.us.
