Student artists in K-12th grades in both tradition and homeschools are invited to submit Harvest of the Month poster entries during Farm to School Month from October 1st through October 31st this year. All students in the following school districts from our 9-county region are eligible to participate from Benton, Carroll, Crockett, Dyer, Gibson, Lake, Henry, Obion and Weakley County Schools.
In celebration of National Farm to School Month through an initiative of the Farm to School program of the Northwest Tennessee Local Food Network, the 2025-26 school year Taste of Tennessee Harvest of the Month poster series will feature artwork selected by a panel of volunteer judges – artwork needs to be postmarked by Monday, November 4, 2024.
The Taste of Tennessee Harvest of the Month is an educational marketing program that encourages students and their communities to learn more about the seasonality of local foods. Each month a different fruit, vegetable, or protein is highlighted, reflecting the current growing season in Tennessee.
To enter the poster contest, students must portray one of the prescribed fruits, vegetables, or proteins, and submit entries to their school cafeteria managers or via post mail by Thursday, October 31, 2024. The winner will be announced in January 2025.
Winners’ artwork will be displayed in the Taste of Tennessee Harvest of the Month poster series on the walls of participating school cafeterias starting in 2025.
Artwork submission deadline is on Thursday, October 31, 2024 and must be postmarked by Monday, November 4, 2024. Winners will receive region wide recognition and their featured Taste of Tennessee Harvest of the Month product prize.
