Young South Dakota Artists Urged To Enter Poster Contest

RAPID CITY, S.D. (AP) — Young South Dakota artists can show off their talents and help raise awareness about wildfire dangers.

South Dakota Wildland Fire is sponsoring a poster coloring contest as part of Wildfire Awareness Month.

This year’s entries have to reflect the theme “Tame the Flame” and must be postmarked by April 24.

The contest will have two age brackets with a Smokey Bear plush toy awarded to the winner of each group. The poster theme for ages 3-7 is “Campfire Dead Out” and for ages 8-12 is “Firefighter and Friends.”

Only one entry per child is allowed and posters must be done by the child with no outside help. Paint, markers, crayons or colored pencils may be used.

Entry forms and rules are available at .
