The International Compost Awareness Week Committee invites YOU to get involved in ICAW 2020. Anyone interested in participating in the 18th Annual Poster Contest can submit their entries now.
The winning poster will be used to promote International Compost Awareness Week, May 3-9, 2021.
POSTER THEME: Soil Loves Compost
Eligibility
The contest is open to anyone from 10 years old to adult from anywhere in the world. This is an international contest.
There are 3 contest divisions: grades 3-7, grades 8-12, and college – adult.
About the Theme
This year’s theme is based on the idea that Soil Loves Compost because compost feeds soil! Soil is alive and needs nourishment to be healthy. With healthy soil you grow healthy plants. Soil Loves Compost because it provides food and nutrients for living microbes that make up healthy soil. Without compost we would have few ways to enrich and restore soil. Compost keeps soil strong and healthy by reusing and recycling organic materials in a “zero waste” cycle. Compost keeps our soil happy and it keeps our planet healthy. Soil Loves Compost!
Rewards
The contest runs from September 1 until November 1, 2020 and is open to anyone who wishes to share their artistic creativity to promote this year’s theme. The winning poster will serve as the promotional piece to share in the United States the 2021 International Compost Awareness Week theme (ICAW is celebrated in other countries, some using a different theme).
The poster contest winner will have his/her poster reproduced and distributed to thousands nationwide. It will be the official 2020 International Compost Awareness Week poster and featured on the CCREF website as well as on the US Composting Council website too. The winning “poster artist” will have his/her name posted on the CCREF website and will be included on all print material and in any press releases in association with our annual ICAW celebration.
The successful poster winner will receive a $500 prize.
