It’s time for the annual “Kansas: Don’t Spoil It” calendar contest. The contest is hosted by the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, and the calendar will feature student artwork for each month of the year.

The postmark deadline for artwork is Sept. 30. Winners will be announced in late fall, and the final calendar will be available at the end of December.

Artwork can be created using markers, watercolors, tempera, oils, crayon, chalk, acrylic or colored pencils. Pen and ink artwork will not be accepted. All artwork must be submitted on 8.5-by-11-inch, unlined white paper. Artwork should be mailed flat; please do not fold. Each entry must include the student’s name, date, grade, school name, school address, school phone number and teacher’s name on the back. Entries become the property of KDHE and may be used for promotional purposes. Entries cannot be returned.
