Vote for 5th Graders in Sturgeon Story Contest

The Friends of the St. Clair River need the community’s help to judge the 14 finalists in their Sturgeon Story Contest. After receiving 275 Sturgeon Story posters this year, they are ready to select their winner before August 22, 2021.

The Sturgeon Stories finalists are viewable on the Friends of the St. Clair River’s website <HERE> and include art from students at Algonquin Elementary, Belle River Elementary, Keewahdin Elementary, and Michigamme.

Students used a combination of art and words to express their knowledge and appreciation for Lake Sturgeon and their contribution to the area’s ecosystem.

Winners will be announced Sunday, August 22 at the Sturgeon Full Moon Lighthouse Climb event at Lighthouse Park in Port Huron. The top three vote getters based on funds raised will each receive a $50 gift card. All finalists have the chance to see their art in the 2022 Lake Sturgeon calendar featuring past and present contest winners.
