Stewardship Week Art Competition
2026’s Stewardship Week: April 26th-May 3rd
“When we take care of soil, we are taking care of everything it supports.
That is why soil is where it all begins.”
Calling All Young Artists!
We are excited to announce our second annual art competition celebrating Stewardship Week. This year's theme, “Soil. Where it all Begins," invites students to explore the importance of soil health and how this vital resource supports life in all its forms.
Eligibility: Private, public, and homeschooled children age 6-19, currently enrolled in primary and secondary education, residing in Berrien County.
Theme: “Soil. Where it all Begins” Soil is so much more than we give it credit for. It filters water, feeds plants, and provides a home for billions of living organisms. How do you see soil?
