Local Benefits2010 Severe Weather Poster Contest
The summer of 2008 was devastating for the state of Iowa in terms of severe weather, with injuries and deaths
from floods,
tornadoes, and lightning; and concern is already growing over potential flooding this spring and summer. It is important not only for
adults,
but children to know the dangers and risks during severe weather events
and how they
can be prepared during such an event. For this reason the Iowa State Student Chapter of the American Meteorological
Society (ISU
AMS) is sponsoring a Severe Weather Awareness Poster Contest. Below is more information on this year's contest,
including
official rules, poster tips, and flyers, as well as the winners and runners-up.
The annual contest is open to all elementary students in the state of Iowa (grades K-6), and is judged on the basis of
how well
they can illustrate what they and their families can do to prepare for severe weather events in Iowa. Posters
should convey a
simple and straightforward message, with legible writing and bright/visible artwork to compliment their message.
The winners of
both categories (grades K-3 and 4-6) as well as honorable mentions will be displayed on the ISU AMS webpage and may
receive
recognition from local media.
Thanks for your interest, and if you have any questions please contact this years' poster contest coordinator:
