Invest in our planet, invest in our parks
Earth Day is April 22, 2023
This year, young artists may enter their creations for the Earth Day Youth Art Contest to two categories:
- Sharing everyday actions that can make a difference in the health of our county parks
- Creating/dreaming up a future park feature or project
Let your imagination run wild as you draw your favorite park activity, ultimate playground, or your favorite spot to guess at cloud formations. Express yourself with colors, style and creativity, and most of all, have FUN. Let’s celebrate Earth Day by showing the awesomeness of the outdoors!
Artwork will be featured on our social media and parkhere.org, and every participant will receive a small thank you gift. In addition, there will be one grand prize winner and finalists from each age group will receive a special prize. Winning artwork may be displayed in our parks.
