Keyport Recycling Department Poster Contest Rules 2017
The Borough of Keyport’s Recycling Department invites Keyport’s children to showcase their artistic talent and their commitment to the environment by participating in the 5th Annual Poster Contest. This poster contest will help us achieve our goal of increasing knowledge of the three R's: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
The grand-prize winner will have a banner created from their poster that will be displayed at the Recycling Table at town activities and events throughout the year. Additional winners will also be awarded prizes.
Eligibility:
All children must be residents of Keyport. The eligible age groups are: 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12.
