Parks & Recreation Department - CEIC

Poster Contest
Chesapeake ... Clean and Green

Poster Contest

The "Chesapeake ... Clean and Green" Poster Contest is sponsored by the Chesapeake Environmental Improvement Council (CEIC) and is intended to encourage the viewer to start thinking and stop littering. There are five categories for entries based on school grade of student entering poster.

First place winners will receive a $200 savings bond, second place winners will receive a $50 check, and third place winners will receive a $25 check. A $50 check will be presented to the teacher of each first-place winner. This check can be used for any classroom need (supplies, celebration party, etc.).

For more information or to find out how to enter a poster next year, call the Special Programs Office of the Chesapeake Parks and Recreation Department at (757) 382-6411.
