The submission deadline for the Town of North Hempstead’s Annual Recycled Artwork Contest is fast approaching.
The Recycled Artwork Contest is a chance for students to harness their creativity to promote recycling in local schools and local communities in an effort to better the environment.
The town invites young minds to come together and collaborate with one powerful message in mind: Recycle, Reuse, and Rethink.
All students in grades K-12 in Town of North Hempstead School Districts or who live in the town are welcome to participate in the contest.
Each student must use reclaimed, recyclable materials made of metals, paper, rubber, plastic or cloth (no glass). All artwork must be labeled and entered by Nov. 30, 2015.
Entries will be judged by the North Hempstead Arts Advisory Committee.
This year, the winners of the Recycled Artwork Contest will be honored at The Gold Coast Arts Center on Monday Dec. 7 at a special ceremony at 6 p.m. and all entries will be displayed from Dec. 7 through Jan. 1, 2016 in the gallery at The Gold Coast Arts Center.
All artwork should be delivered directly to the The Gold Coast Arts Center, located at 113 Middle Neck Road, Great Neck, N.Y. 11021 and must be accompanied by a release form. There are also size restriction.
All entries (unless prior arrangements are made) become the property of The Town of North Hempstead.
