REYNOLDSBURG, Ohio (April 12, 2018) –The Ohio Department of Agriculture
has opened 2018’s “Agriculture is Cool!” Creative Expression Contest.
Children enrolled in school or home schooled in Ohio during the
2017-2018 academic year have until June 5, 2018 to show their personal
interpretation of why Ohio agriculture is cool for their chance to win
prizes including a trip to be recognized at the Ohio State Fair.
“Ag is Cool!” entries, which can include an original video, photograph,
drawing or painting, will be judged in the following age categories.

based on the student’s visual representation of the “Ag is Cool!”
