Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is accepting entries for the Great American Cleanup of PA Video Contest until June 8 that show how you keep your community clean and beautiful. 

“We are excited to provide this opportunity for community groups and individuals to showcase their local programs. A lot of hard work and partnerships go into the Great American Cleanup of PA events and that’s what we want to see!” says Shannon Reiter, president of Keep PA Beautiful.  “The Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful video contest is a way to gain recognition, build support for local programs and thank all the volunteers and sponsors who helped make your Great American Cleanup of PA event a success.” 

To participate, send Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful a 60-second video of your Great American Cleanup of PA event showing individuals, groups, children, and adults having fun making our communities clean, beautiful and vibrant! Be sure to mention the Great American Cleanup of PA in your video.
