“Shine the Light on Solar Energy” Poster Contest
Calling all young Long Island artists!! Do you know what solar energy is? What types of buildings, machines or other items would you like to see run on solar power? How could solar energy make Long Island a better place? Put your ideas and images on paper!
To commemorate the Summer Solstice, the longest and potentially sunniest day of 2009, children who live on Long Island and are in grades Kindergarten through 5 are invited to enter Built Well Solar Corp.’s “Shine the Light on Solar Energy” Poster Contest! We have extended the deadline for the contest. Entries must now be postmarked by the Summer Solstice, June 22, 2009.
Click here to download the official entry form.
Artwork must reflect the contest theme “Shine the Light on Solar Energy” and depict benefits of solar energy for our planet and Long Island in particular, and it should show solar power in use today or in the future. It might help to click here and read “Fun Facts about Solar Energy” for some ideas.
Check back here for the announcement of the winners and honorable mentions -- and to see their posters!!
Results will be notified and announced by July 30, 2009. Winners will be judged on their creativity and informative content as it relates to the theme. Winners will be selected in each of two age groups, Grades K,1 & 2 and Grades 3,4 & 5.
• One grand prize winner from each age category will receive $75 worth of unique solar-powered or "green" toys and other items.
• Their parents will receive a $200 credit toward a solar-electric system for their home.
• Four honorable mentions will also be selected, two from each age category, who will win a solar-powered flashlight/keychain.
