THEME: CREATIVE INNOVATION – Students should illustrate the importance of recycling responsibly. This contest calls for creativity and thinking outside of the recycling box! We are looking for original or alternative ideas to make recycling easier and more widely utilized. This can be a solution to an already existing problem or a brand-new idea.
The Madison County Green Schools Program invites students in grades K-12 within Madison County schools to illustrate their talent in this county-wide poster contest. America Recycles Day (November 15) is a nationally recognized event that promotes national awareness of recycling in the United States.
