Pierce County student Holly Gibbs is a district winner of the 2025 Georgia Farm Bureau (GFB) Middle School Bookmark Contest. Gibbs received $100 for being the top winner from GFB’s 10th District, which is composed of 17 counties in Southeast Georgia and includes Pierce.
Gibbs is the daughter of Jacob Gibbs and Susan Gibbs. Her artwork may be viewed at https://gfb.ag/25bookmarkwinners along with the bookmarks of the other district winners. When she entered the contest earlier this year, Gibbs was an eighth-grade student at Pierce County Middle School.
“Georgia Farm Bureau’s Middle School Bookmark Contest encourages students to explore agriculture and then create a piece of art inspired by what they learned,” said GFB President Tom McCall. “Students who might not otherwise think about agriculture learn about the variety of crops and livestock Georgia farmers raise as they create their drawings.”
The contest, sponsored by Georgia Farm Bureau, was open to all Georgia middle school students in grades 6-8. Pierce County Farm Bureau coordinated the contest locally. The middle school contestants were given a blank bookmark and asked to create a design illustrating Georgia agriculture.
