Be
a Litter Hawk: 2006 Winners Announced
 Are
you creative? Do you like to write stories, draw or paint
pictures, or use your imagination to come up with new ideas?
If so, then you too can enter our Litter Hawk Youth Award
Program and have a chance at winning $100. The Litter Hawk
Program is a way for you to share your thoughts and ideas
about how to get rid of litter in your community through words,
art, or a community project.
Three entries
are chosen in both the 10 and under age group and the 11 to
18 age group. Visit our website to see how to participate
for next year, www.pacleanways.org.
Entry deadline is March 31.
Thanks to all
of you who submitted entries for the 2006 Litter Hawk Award.
The decision is always a difficult one. Our judges loved looking
at all the creative ways that kids are sending the message
about litter and illegal dumping prevention, recycling, proper
disposal, beautification, or stewardship.
