Twelve (12) winners will receive the honor of having their artwork in a 2010 calendar that will be distributed throughout the state. The schools with winning entries will receive a recycled-content tote bag filled with recycling educational materials. One grand-prize winner will earn a free staff development workshop for their school district from Project Learning Tree (www.plt.org).

Students have between now and Earth Day 2009 to complete their posters. Download the complete rules from www.cafr.org/arday or contact Amy Randell, amy@cafr.org or 970-530-0677.
