The Michigan Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) provides all persons (except persons incarcerated in correctional facilities) with access to public records of public bodies. Requests to inspect or receive public records from EGLE must be in writing and describe the requested records with enough detail to enable the department to identify and locate the requested records. Some records are exempt from disclosure under the FOIA or another statute and thus will not be provided. A fee may be charged to process your request. Please note that many records are available that do not require a formal FOIA request.

The 2025 Earth Day poster contest, which is for kindergarten through fifth grade students, received 240 stunning entries from across the state. Judges had a very difficult time choosing the winning posters, and many commented on the talent and creativity of the K-5th grade students.
The students had to incorporate several concepts into their designs. The artwork must be Michigan-themed and should contain wildlife, plants, natural features, or freshwater ecosystems native to Michigan. Then, schools held their own contests to choose the top three posters per grade (K-5). The schools entered these posters in EGLE’s statewide Earth Day Poster contest. Judges were instructed to base their choice on the student’s creative use of Michigan’s nature, ecosystems, and Michigan-focused environmental concerns. First and second place winners in each grade receive a $25 Meijer gift card.
The winning entries came from schools located in Beverly Hills, Grand Rapids, Lake Orion, Northville, Pinconning, Plymouth, Rochester Hills, and Rockford. The posters are displayed on the Earth Day web page.
The poster contest is sponsored by Meijer.
