| The St. Kitts Sea Turtle Monitoring Network and Small Islands Voice are excited to announce the launch of their collaborative 2006 Sea Turtle Poster Competition.
All competition information was delivered to the Principal or Head Teacher of each primary, secondary, and high school on St. Kitts the week of September 5th, 2006.
The 2006 Sea Turtle Poster Competition was launched in order to promote awareness of sea turtles on St. Kitts.
There are 3 age categories for the competition; 5-8, 9-12, and 13-16. All students have been asked to submit artwork along the theme of "creating awareness of sea turtles on St. Kitts." Entries are encouraged to focus on ways to help sea turtles locally and globally. Examples would include, but are not limited to; decreasing light pollution, responsible fishing, and responsible development.
Winners and runners up will be chosen from each age category. The winner of each age category will have his/her artwork featured on one of three posters in a series for the St. Kitts National Sea Turtle Hotline which will be launched at the end of October 2006.
