Enter the Third Annual YAC Recycled Art Contest!
The Portage Youth Advisory Committee (YAC) announces the third annual Recycled Art Contest to promote recycling in Portage. The contest is for all ages in the following age groups/grades: K - 5th grade, 6th - 8th grade, 9th - 12th grade, and 18+, and provides an opportunity to give unused items a new life in art, promote creativity, and enhance public awareness of recycling.
YAC members will judge the artwork based on recycling content, creative use of materials, originality, and overall design. The winners from each age group will receive a prize and the artwork will be displayed at City Hall for the week of April 28 to May 2 to commemorate Earth Day.
Hurry! The YAC is accepting only ten projects in each category and entries must be received by Friday, April 18, 2025, at 12 PM. Projects should be made from clean recycled materials, be original, and be limited to 3’ x 3’ in size. Official contest rules and submission forms can be found at portagemi.gov/878/YAC-Events.
