Contest Rules and Information

Any student currently enrolled in a New Haven Unified School District elementary or middle school is eligible to enter. Entry is free. Each student may enter only once. A parent or guardian must consent to their child’s participation and signify their agreement with the contest rules via the entry form.

Schedule:

• April 16, 2022 – Deadline for submission. Entries are due by 11:59 PM PDT.
• April 30, 2022 – Announcement of winners via our Facebook page.

Poster Guidelines:

Entries must be original work created by the student. Posters will be judged on originality, clarity of message, and creative expression of the Earth Day theme. Posters must be in color and be landscape/horizontal orientation. You may use crayons, pencils, pastels, markers, paint, or whatever art supplies you have on hand at home. You may also submit original computer graphics you design yourself.

Entries must not use trademarks or company logos, computer-generated artwork, traced images, pages from coloring books, or images downloaded or copied from Internet websites.

Posters created on paper should be scanned and upload via the entry form. You may also take a photo of the poster if that is easier. Only PDF, JPG, or GIF file types will be accepted. We recommend the uploaded image be no larger than 11″ X 17″ for easy printing by the judges.

Prizes:

Entries will be evaluated by a panel of judges consisting of NHSF board members and/or staff. All decisions are final.

First, Second, and Third Place winners will be selected from each of these grade categories. Three category-level winners will receive a $50 gift card. One overall winner will be selected as the best of the contest and will be awarded a $100 gift card.

• K-1st Grades
• 2nd-3rd Grades
• 4th-5th Grades
• 6th-8th Grades
