The Broward County Government is presenting to you the 2023 Clean Air Calendar Poster Contest, open for free entry and available to students studying in grade K-12 and residing in Broward County. There is a desperate need to lessen the effects of climate change for ourselves and all other living things. Scientists have determined that we should preserve at least 30% of our lands and oceans by the year 2030. Therefore, to make that happen, the Broward County Government is trying to encourage students to come forward and show what our lives and/or the environment would look like if we accomplished this goal. This can be depicted through photography, hand-drawn artwork, or digital media.
To apply for the following contest, the candidates are required to submit their artworks as per the given instructions. The submissions entered will be judged based on the following:
- Effectiveness & Relevance to the theme (75%): Does the artwork effectively illustrate the theme and have a written description relevant to the theme? Does the poster clearly express a message of environmental conservation?
- Creativity & Neatness (25%): Does the student use creative forms of expression? Is the poster neat and easily understood? How much time and effort does the poster, digital art, and photograph exhibit?
Winning entries will be featured in the 2023 Clean Air Calendar. There will be a total of twelve winners and one Grand Prize Winner. The participating school of the Grand Prize Winner (cover image) will be awarded a plaque for display at the school and all winners will receive a prize. Posters submitted for the contest may be used for educational purposes and will become the property of Broward County.
