ARBOR DAY 5th Grade POSTER CONTEST

The Colorado 5th Grade Arbor Day Poster Contest is an artistic competition open to public, private and home-schooled fifth graders across the state that strives to increase appreciation and awareness of the important role that trees play in our quality of life, communities, ecosystems and our state. We are tentatively planning on announcing the 2025 contest theme in January 2025.
