Nevada Recycles Poster Contest winners announced!
In celebration of America Recycles Day on November 15th, all of Nevada’s K-12 students were invited to showcase their artistic talent and their commitment to recycling by participating in the 2021 Nevada Recycles Poster Contest.
To help us spread the word on how to recycle properly, students created posters around the theme “Empty, Clean, and Dry” – the three basic guidelines to follow before placing a recyclable material in your bin.
We received many great entries and want to thank everyone who participated in this year’s contest. Entries were judged based on originality, visual clarity, clear messaging, and adherence to the theme. The winners are:
