Juniors Year in Rocks Contest
Deadline: August 30, 2024
To all SFMS Juniors!
Help us update the banner on the Officers Contact Lists page! The page needs a photo with 2025 spelled out in rocks, minerals, fossils, crystals, sand, lapidary items, etc.
Put together your design for the year and submit a photograph plus description to your club. Then your club can submit the entries to the SFMS Youth Resources Committee.
SFMS judges will blind judge the entries and the winning entry will be announced at the annual meeting. Plus, it will be displayed all year on the Officers Contact Lists page!
All other entries will be displayed in a carousel gallery on this page.
