YOUTH AWARD: Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful is announcing the Litter Hawk Youth Award Program, a recognition program for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, who complete a designated project specific to their grade level.
The Litter Hawk Youth Award Program is a way for kids to share their hope, optimism and concerns about litter and inspire others to care for their communities through art, words or video. Kids are asked to address the theme: How do you keep Pennsylvania beautiful?
Projects include posters for students in kindergarten through fourth grade and an essay or video for fifth and sixth graders.
Two entries will be awarded in each grade level. First place will receive a $25 gift card. First runner-up will receive a $15 gift card. All participants will be recognized with certificates. The deadline to participate is Jan. 31. Winners will be announced in April in time for Earth Day celebrations.
The Litter Hawk Youth Award program was created with funding provided by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
