Youth should incorporate this theme into their posters.

The Poultry Poster Contest is designed to be an educational activity for North Carolina youth to learn about our important poultry industry.

Please forward the First Place poster only in Division I, Division II, and Division III by July 31, to Melissa Scherpereel, Extension Poultry Youth Specialist, Box 7608, NC State University, Raleigh, NC 27695-7608. Many agents have chosen to bring them to annual congress with them. We will try to have a booth or a representative on site at congress check in to accept posters. We realize that agents have a great deal going on at this time and don't need to haul posters around!
