The art shown here won last year’s Commonwealth Cleanup
Week 2000 Poster Contest, organized by the Kentucky Natural Resources & Environmental
Protection Cabinet, with assistance from the electric cooperatives’ Touchstone
Energy®.

This year’s winners will be announced in late March.
The contest is open to Kentucky students in grades 1-8. County winners receive
a $50 U.S. savings bond and state winners receive a $100 savings bond. The state
winners’ schools receive a $1,500 grant for environmental education. Although
the entry deadline has passed for this year, information on next year’s contest
is usually available in early January. For more information on the contest contact
