PA CleanWays this week invited nominations for its Litter Hawk Youth Award Program for two age groups, 10 and under and 11 to 18. The deadline for nominations is March 31.

The Litter Hawk program gives youth and teens a chance to illustrate their concern about littering and illegal dumping prevention, recycling, proper disposal, beautification, and stewardship through visual arts, language arts, and community outreach.

Entries will be judged on creativity and the project’s ability to convey the chosen theme. Three winning entries in each age group will receive gift cards in the amount of $75 (10 and under) and $100 (11-18). Awards will be announced during Earth Month (April).

This program was developed by PA CleanWays with support from the Department of Environmental Protection.

PA CleanWays has chapters in the following counties: Bedford, Blair, Cambria, Cumberland, Elk, Fayette, Huntingdon, Indiana, Jefferson (also serving Clarion and Clearfield), Lawrence, McKean, Mifflin, and Somerset. Affiliates include: PA CleanWays of Allegheny County, Inc., PA CleanWays of Greene County, Inc., and Clinton County CleanScapes, Inc. (serving Clinton, Centre, and Lycoming Counties).
