BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota's Game and Fish Department is accepting entries for the design of a 2015 Earth Day patch.

The contest for students ages 6-18 is part of the agency's annual Earth Day awareness campaign. The deadline to submit entries is March 15. Earth Day is April 22.

The Game and Fish Department will announce a winner in three age categories — 6-9, 10-13 and 14-18. Each winner will receive a pair of binoculars. The final patch design will be chosen from among the three winners.

The patch will be given to members of Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, 4-H clubs and any school participating in Earth Day cleanup projects on state-owned or managed lands in North Dakota in April and May.

More information can be found on the department's website: www.gf.nd.gov .
