AUTHOR: Molly Voeller

The USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) is seeking Alaska Native artists to compete in the 2009 American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month Poster Contest. The selected artist will receive $2,000 and their artwork will be reproduced into a poster for nationwide distribution.

StumbleUpon Toolbar Stumble It!

The USDA National Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) will use the poster to kick-off the 2009 American Indian and Alaska Native Heritage Month in November. The poster provides an opportunity to share the history and culture of Alaska Natives and their contributions. The contest takes place in different regions around the country each year and we are pleased Alaska is hosting it this year.

  • Only Alaska Native and American Indian artists are invited to submit their artwork.
  • Each artist must notify Molly Voeller at (907) 761-7749 or molly.voeller@ak.usda.gov by June 30, 2009, if they will be submitting artwork.
