The Sixteen on Center Art & Writing Contest is held annually to promote the importance and value of a healthy environment to the youth of Aquidneck Island. The contest is open to all local students, from kindergarten through 12th grade. Island schools submit artistic or written representations of their students’ favorite island vistas, which are then judged by a panel of ALT judges. There are first, second, and third-place prizes for each age group (K-4, 5-8, 9-12) and for both categories (art and writing). Awards are presented at the ALT Annual Meeting on February 1, 2018. In addition, the school of each first-place winner receives a check to support its own environmental education curriculum.
We thank our sponsor, Sixteen on Center, for their generosity and commitment to environmental education. For more information on the contest, please contact Gretchen Markert, gmarkert@ailt.org, 401.849.2799, ext. 13.
