Poster Contest
All K-12 students and youth organization members are invited to showcase their artistic talent and their commitment to the environment by participating in the Colorado Association for Recycling’s annual recycling poster contest.

Twelve (12) winners will receive the honor of having their artwork in CAFR’s recycling calendar and will be recognized at CAFR’s recycling conference in June 2012. Each winning student receives a recycled-content award frame and the schools with winning entries will receive a recycled-content tote bag filled with recycling educational materials and supplies. One of the 12 selected winners will be awarded a grand-prize and will also earn a free staff development workshop for their school district from Project Learning Tree.
Last Year's Winners
Congratulations to the winning students in 2011! Their posters are showcased in CAFR's 2012 Recycling Calendar, which are printed with wind power on 100% recycled-content paper using soy-based inks. Sorry, 2012 calendars are sold out.
