New Contest! IPM Art Contest - "By the Light of the Moon" Information & Registration here by April 15
The K-State Research and Extension Pesticide Safety and IPM Program is hosting its annual insect- themed art contest, open to all ages and skill levels in Kansas.
This year, the theme is “By the Light of the Moon: Insects at Night.” The goal is to explore which insects are active or inactive at night and why,
then create artwork that fits the contest theme.
We will select a winner from each of the outlined categories and one overall winner will be selected from those entries. Artists that have art selected as 1st - 3rd place winners will receive a certificate and a prize to recognize their achievement. Select artwork may be used to create educational items
