Deadline to submit artwork is Aug. 31
Hillsborough County, Fla. (July 17, 2024) - Art meets recycling in Hillsborough County.
The second annual Recycling and Waste Reduction Art Contest is on, and students are asked to submit their creative pieces that connect the art world with the recycling world.
The theme of the contest is What Can We Do to Help the Community Reduce Waste, Reuse What We Have, and Recycle More?
Using the theme as a framework, students can submit a drawing using drawing tools, including programs such as Photoshop. They also can submit a collage using drawings, photographs, or other material. Other types of submissions will not be judged. Students cannot use artificial intelligence (AI) programs to create the art.
To enter the competition, students must work alone, create original art, live in Hillsborough County, and be entering fourth through 12th grade by the start of the 2024 school year. Three winners will be selected by Hillsborough County staff. A fourth-grade through fifth-grade winner, a sixth-grade through eighth-grade winner, and a ninth-grade through 12th-grade winner will be selected. The winners will receive countywide recognition and sustainable-themed prizes.
Once the artwork is finished, submit it by completing a Recycling & Waste Reduction Art Contest Form. Artwork can be submitted from now until Aug. 31. If you have questions, email the Hillsborough County Recycling Team at Recycling@HCFL.gov.
