The City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works is partnering with Milwaukee Public Schools and Keep Greater Milwaukee Beautiful to host its first recycling poster contest coinciding with Earth Day 2022.

All Milwaukee Public Schools K-12 students are invited to showcase their artistic talent and their commitment to reduce, reuse, and recycle by participating in the City of Milwaukee Department of Public Works’ poster contest.

“MPS is a great partner in helping instill the need to protect our environment. We look forward to the creative contributions from students as recycling helps create a better world for their future,” said Commissioner of Public Works Jeff Polenske.

The inaugural contest’s theme is “Know Before You Throw,” emphasizing the importance of placing only accepted items into recycling containers where you live, work, and play. Up to three entries per grade category may be submitted by each participating school for a total of 12 entries. The entry deadline is April 25, 2022.

The 1st place prize winner in each of four grade categories will receive a $100 gift card and one grand-prize winner’s school will receive a $200 gift card for room supplies. Winning artwork will be used to promote recycling in the City of Milwaukee. All students will receive a Certificate of Recognition for participating.

More details on the poster requirements, submission instructions, judging criteria, and theme are available online atMilwaukee.gov/DPWPosterContest.
