Every year, Earth Day is celebrated on April 22. This year, the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) invites students to celebrate by participating in a poster decoration contest.
DEP’s Earth Day 2024 theme is “Clean is Green: Preserving Florida’s Future.” The DEP encourages 4th - 12th grade students to submit a poster that reflects this year’s theme.
Artwork will be selected from each grade group (4th - 5th grades, 6th - 8th grades, and 9th - 12th grades) in each of DEP's six district regions and winners will receive day passes for Florida State Parks.
District winners will be entered into a statewide contest. The winning entries will also receive a full-size printed poster of their artwork. The winners will be announced in May 2024.
Students must submit their artwork by 5 p.m. on April 22, 2024. Important information regarding the rules and guidelines can be found here.
The DEP wants to inspire Floridians to incorporate positive environmental practices into their daily routines – check out the Every Day is Earth Day tips listed on their website.
