        Students from preschool through                  grade 12 can learn about the world's endangered                  species by entering the national Endangered Species                  Poster Contest sponsored by Target Stores, the                  National Wildlife Federation and the Environmental                  Information Center.
                                    The contest is open to all youth                  and prizes will be awarded in five grade                  categories: pre K-1, 2-3, 4-6, 7-9 and 10-12. The                  winning artwork will be displayed at the White                  House Office of Environmental Policy and will be                  available to tour science and children's                  museums.
                                    Posters can feature one or more                  endangered species, or tackle the general issue of                  endangered species. Entries will be judged by a                  team of celebrities, education specialists and                  politicians, based on creativity and accuracy of                  content.
