Hi everybody it's time for your Land and Livestock Report here on the Ag Information Network of the West-I'm Russell Nemetz.

Through their collaborative program Science Matters, Bayer and National 4-H Council are encouraging youth to consider how science impacts their everyday lives through a photo contest, "Why Science Matters to Me." The winners of the contest will receive a trip for three to the National Youth Summit on Agri-Science, January 12-15, 2018. Held annually in Washington, D.C., the summit provides high school students from around the country with hands-on educational experiences that help them develop the skills and knowledge needed for the challenges facing agriculture, food security and sustainability.

Students may enter to win through the 4-H websiteor Instagram by submitting a photo showing how life science is behind the food you eat, benefits your health or helps your animals. Each photo should also include a 300-word maximum caption telling why science matters to them. All posts must include "#ScienceMattersContest" and be submitted by November 26, 2017.

A panel of judges comprised of both Bayer and National 4-H Council employees will review all entries and select 10 finalists. The public will then have an opportunity to help choose the winners by voting on the 4-H website for their favorite photo from December 1 – December 6, 2017.

Three grand prize winners will receive a trip for three to Washington, D.C., to attend the National Youth Summit on Agri-Science in January 2018. Additionally, seven honorable mention award recipients will receive a $250 gift card to shop4h.org, 4-H's online shop and another 50 contest particpants will be selected at random to win a $100 gift card to shop4h.org.

To be eligible for this promotion, participants must be between the ages of 14-to-18-years old and legal residents of the U.S.

Science Matters is an initiative set forth by Bayer and National 4-H Council to spark the interest of young people across the nation in STEM-related fields, as well as instill a love for scientific discovery and provide students the tools they need to pursue STEM-related careers.
