This year my insect collection was not only selected for state fair but won best overall in the state of Indiana. 
The requirements:

• Order, family, and species where possible.
  
• Date and location of capture.
• 100 specimens of 100 different species.
• 18 or more orders.
• All from US and Canada.
• One educational box with the theme: Benefits of Insects.

Specifics on my collection:
Orders: 21
Families: 83
Specimens added since last year: 45
County: Whitley 

Thanks to everyone from this site for contributing to my knowledge and education on the topic of entomology, I truly appreciate it.
And here is me with my collection today:

Good work!
I won a collections price once. I think the main reason i won it is because no one else entered. Collecting insects was rather obscure and rare.

Does my (and others here) heart good to see that young people will not let this hobby pass away. Great job!
