Iowa State University Student Chapter of the American Meteorological Society (ISU AMS)is sponsoring a Severe Weather Awareness Poster Contest. They are looking for posters that illustrate ways to prepare for severe weather in Iowa (floods, tornadoes, lightning, etc). Winners and honorable mentions will be chosen for two age groups, K-3 and 4-6. Prizes for the winners may include certificates, weather calendars, window clings, NOAA weather radios and more. The posters must be postmarked by April 2nd and arrive by April 6th (the Tuesday of Iowa's Severe Weather Awareness Week).
Additional information, such as where to mail the posters, is available on their website at http://www.geology.iastate.edu/ams/community/posters.php. You may also click here for a flyer for distribution to your teacher and students with contest information. Any questions can be directed to Shannon Rabideau at posters.isuams@iastate.edu.
