EPA, Philadelphia Zoo Sponsor Earth Day Student Poster Contest
|
|
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Philadelphia Zoo are sponsoring an Earth Day poster contest for students in grades Kindergarten through 12 in EPA’s mid-Atlantic region, which includes Pennsylvania. Entries must be postmarked by March 1. Students are invited to submit hand-created drawings on plain letter-sized paper using markers, colored pencils, crayons, pens or paint. Computer-generated images will not be accepted. Students can choose one of the three themes: Protect Habitats, Endangered Species, Help Protect the Earth from Climate Change and The Meaning of Earth Day.
Entries will be divided into four categories: K-2nd grade; grades 3-5; grades 6-8; and grades 9-12. The top three winners in each category will receive a combined prize package from the EPA and Philadelphia Zoo.
Winning entries and others will be displayed at the Philadelphia Zoo on April 22-24 as part of EPA’s 40th anniversary Earth Day celebration. The posters will later be displayed at the EPA’s Public Information Center in Philadelphia.
Entries should be mailed to: Earth Day Poster Contest (3PA00), U.S. EPA Region 3, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, PA 19103.
The back of the poster should include the competition theme, name, age, school name, grade, parent/guardian’s name, address, telephone number and email.
