This is a statewide invitation to all schools (public, private and home school families) to participate in this year’s Festival of Knowledge.  Posters, displays, and three-dimensional creations will be judged for information, creativity, and workmanship.  Dimension of these exhibits must be at least three feet in length and two feet in height.  They must be able to stand on their own or have physical support from the back – please no hanging or leaning items on the walls.  Tripods and easels are recommended as support systems.  Please bring table clothes, tape, markers, and any other display materials you may need to set up your creations.

The three categories you may enter your display in are as follows:

1. “Build a Bug” (an actual insect species or create an imaginary one)

2. “Cultural History (Native American Indian or colonial lifestyles)”

3. “Natural History (NC animal or plant species)”.
