COASTSWEEP, the annual coastal cleanup event in Massachusetts, is holding a Poster Contest … and you are invited to participate. Children in grades K-12 are eligible and the contest deadline is Wednesday, July 18. Prizes include T-shirts, passes to the New England Aquarium, and REI Outdoor School vouchers. One grand prize winning poster will even be included in COASTSWEEP 2007 promotional materials.
If you are a Massachusetts kid and you love the ocean and its wildlife, check out this contest.
If you live in Massachusetts but are too old to participate (like me!), check out the COASTSWEEP website to learn how you can protect our waterways and shorelines. Cleanup events are held throughout the fall and are a fabulous way for families and community groups to work together in honor of the planet.
If you live anywhere else in the world and want to know how YOU can get involved, visit The Ocean Conservancy to learn more about International Coastal Cleanup events being held across the country and around the world this fall.
