LAWRENCE: Earth Day art contest at Nature Center

The Lawrence Nature Center is hosting an Earth Day art contest for grades pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.
    The artwork will be judged by professional artists on April 24 and the winners will be announced at the Earth Day celebration at the Lawrence Nature Center April 25. Names will not appear on the artwork until after judging.
    The winning artwork in each category — ages under 5 years old, ages 5 to 8, ages 9 to 12, and 12 on up — will be on display at the Lawrence Branch of the Mercer County Library for the week following the contest.
    All artwork must be original and reflect a nature or environmental theme. It may not exceed 9 inches by 12 inches, and a limit of two pieces per participant is allowed. Names will not appear on the artwork until after judging.
    Rules and registration forms are available in the schools, at the Lawrence Branch of the Mercer County Library System and on the Lawrence Nature Center’s Web site at www.lawrencenaturecenter.net.
