GCNJ Youth Contests

January 6th Is The Submission Deadline For All GCNJ Youth Contests.

  • Smokey Bear/Woodsy Owl Poster Contest: 1st-5th
  • NGC High School Essay Contest: 9th-12th
  • NGC Youth Poetry Contest: K-9th
  • NGC Youth Sculpture Contest: 4th-8th

Please carefully review changes noted below:

Changes have been made this year that limit the number of contest entries a local club may send to the NJ Youth Chair. The submissions are now limited to three entries per contest, per grade level, per local club.

The local club will be responsible for the selection of those contest entries that are sent to GCNJ Youth Chair.

It is recommended that the selection of the entries be made by a Selection Committee composed of a minimum of three adult local club members who are not related to Youth contestants, and who would be impartial in their selections and who have the appropriate background for and interest in the youth projects. If the local club so chooses, a community representative may be invited to join the Selection Committee. It would be at the discretion of the local club to determine whether to have one Selection Committee for all contests or a separate Selection Committee for each respective contest.

Please mail all entries to NJGC Youth Chair “flat” rather than rolled, using a sturdy mailing envelope. All entries are to be mailed to:

Onnolee Allieri – 552 Powerville Road, Boonton, NJ 07005
