The Kansas State Research and Extension Integrated Pest Management and Pesticide Safety Education program is wrapping up their third year of the Insect Art Contest. The theme this year was the “Benefits of Insects” and the goal was to explore how insects are beneficial to us and society. A total of 179 entries were received from youth across the state. The entries were submitted in four age categories and a panel of judges selected the top four entries in each age range. The entries were then posted for the public to vote on the winners.
The overall category winners for the 2022 Insect Art Contest, based on age group, are listed below:
