The 2019 Art & Writing Contest is now underway. The prompt for either art or written entries is the same: “What is your favorite Aquidneck Island vista? Show it as an artwork on paper or describe it in an essay or poem.”
Teachers are asked to submit entries in .pdf form, listing the student’s name, teacher’s name, and grade for each. Submissions are due by email no later than noon on Friday, November 8, 2019. There are first-, second-, and third-prize awards for each of the three age categories: kindergarten – grade 4, grades 5-8, and grades 9-12. Student prizes range from $250 to $50. Two panels of judges will determine the winners, who will be invited to ALT’s annual meeting in February to receive their prizes. Questions? Call us at 401-849-2799.
We thank our sponsor, Sixteen on Center, for their generosity and commitment to environmental education.
