Contestants will be asked to submit artwork that showcases the pride and hard work of farmers from across the state, connecting people from all walks of life for a celebration of the importance of agriculture in our communities.

First place winning poster in each age group will be sent to Harrisburg for consideration for State awards of $100, first: $75, second, and $50 third, regardless of age.
