Breaux Act Newsflash - Keep Your Eye on the Prize Student Art, Photo, and Essay Contest

***********************************************************************
The new America's WETLAND contest encourages students to use their
imaginations to help save America's WETLAND in Coastal Louisiana.

Open for any Louisiana student in grades 4-12, the "Keep Your Eye on the
Prize" Student Art, Photo, and Essay Contest was created to emphasize the
importance of Louisiana's coastal wetlands, known as America's WETLAND. The
contest will remind youth that saving and restoring Louisiana's wetlands is
not only critical to their well being -- whether they live on the coast or
inland -- but it is also critical to the entire nation's environment and the
economy.

The "prize" for every participant is making a contribution to building a
sustainable coast with healthy wetlands, which protect humans, their homes,
and the hundreds of species that inhabit America's WETLAND. And nine
winners, one in each category, will receive $500 for a restoration event at
their schools and recognition on the America's WETLAND website.
