The Blue Ridge Young Birders Club, in partnership with the Monticello Bird Club of Charlottesville, is sponsoring the first annual Bird Conservation Poster Contest. Based on the theme, Understanding the Threats: Finding the Solutions, the contest challenges K-8 students in Albemarle, Charlottesville and Nelson to create a poster that illustrates a key conservation threat to birds and suggests a solution to the issue.
Contest entries will be judged in two divisions according to grade: K-4 and 5-8. Submissions are due by Saturday, November 21.
Great Prizes! Six individual students will win a new pair of eagle optics Kingbird binoculars, and six schools will win a complete bird feeder setup, including seed.
