Congratulations to the 2012 Nutrition Education Poster Contest winners!

This year there were 49 entries among 18 school districts. “Get Your Plate in Shape” served as this year’s theme, as it parallels with the American Dietetic Association’s National Nutrition Month.

The poster contest is an annual event funded by the Nutrition Committee of the Arkansas School Nutrition Association (ASNA) and administered by Arkansas Department of Education, Child Nutrition Unit.

Five division winners are chosen at the state level to receive $50 cash and a trophy. A Senior Division winner is selected to receive a $300 scholarship. The instructor/art teacher of each state level division winner is awarded $100 to be used toward the purchase of classroom art supplies. The Child Nutrition Manager of each state level winner receives paid ASNA dues for the year.
