Youth across Kentucky are invited to participate in this year’s creative art contest.

Young artists are encouraged to think creatively about how agriculture shows up in their daily lives and communities, then draw and color in their provided county outline.

Download your map of Washington County here: https://www.mgcafe.uky.edu/national-ag-week or stop by the Extension Office to pick one up.

Entries are due no later than 4:00, Monday, May 25, 2026.

Happy Coloring!
