Savannah Keough, 2017 Earth Day Art Contest Winner
Young artists are encouraged to submit original works of art in the City of Alexandria’s annual Earth Day artwork contest. The selected work of art will be used to help publicize the City’s Earth Day celebration on Saturday, April 28, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Lenny Harris Memorial Fields at Braddock Park, adjacent to George Washington Middle School.
ACPS students are invited to submit original, two-dimensional, wordless artwork based on their interpretation of the theme “Local Action, Global Impact.” The selected artwork will be printed on Earth Day t-shirts, reusable shopping bags, posters, fliers, and advertising to donors and will be featured on the City of Alexandria Earth Day website. The artist will be recognized in the Earth Day program and invited to the Earth Day Proclamation reading at a City Council Meeting.
A collection of submitted artwork will be on display at the Earth Day celebration and in Alexandria’s City Hall the week prior to the celebration.
The Earth Day Planning Committee will select the winning artwork based on creativity, content, composition and relationship to the theme, “Local Action, Global Impact.”
The deadline to submit artwork is 6 p.m. on Friday, January 26 to UpCycle Creative Resue Center, 1605 Cameron Street, Alexandria, Virginia 22314. Get details about the artwork guidelines and on how to submit your artwork.
