MONTPELIER — Green Up Vermont is holding its annual poster and writing contests, and students in grades K-12 are invited to submit one entry in each of the two contests. Entries must be received by Jan. 31.
One poster design will be selected as the official 2016 Green Up Day poster, promoting Green Up Day, the first Saturday in May. Poster entries should be 11 by 14 inches, created by hand, without the aid of computers, and must include the words “Green Up Vermont.” Writing entries should be a poem or an essay of up to 400 words relating to what Green Up Day means to you.
All rights for use and reproduction belong to Green Up Vermont. Entries will not be returned. All poster and writing entries must include the following information, on the back upper right hand corner: student name, grade, county, home address; parent/guardian name and phone; school name (if it is a classroom project), address, phone and teacher. Student entries do not have to be a school classroom project, so homeschooled students and students sending individual entries from home are also welcomed to participate.
Entries should be mailed to Green Up Vermont, P.O. Box 1191, Montpelier, VT 05601-1191, or delivered to the Green Up Vermont office at 14-16 Baldwin St. For questions, call 802-229-4586 or 1-800-974-3259 or visit the Poster and Writing Contests page at www.greenupvermont.org for more information.
