Elementary School Children Sought for South Dakota Agriculture Art Contest

PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — Two South Dakota agriculture groups are accepting entries from third and fourth graders from across the state to participate in an upcoming art contest.

South Dakota Value Added Agriculture and South Dakota Ag in the Classroom are hosting the art contest in conjunction with the 2015 South Dakota State Fair.

Posters entered into the "Astonishing Ag Articles" contest should show non-food items made from crops or livestock grown in the state. The winning entry will be displayed at the Future Farmers of America Nursery throughout the fair.

Posters must be hand-drawn and colored or painted. Computer graphics, cut-outs or animated images won't be accepted.

The state fair starts Sept. 3 in Huron. Entries may be submitted by email by Sept. 2 or in person by Sept. 3.
