Green Hope Project
invites elementary, middle school, high school, and
adults to submit entries for our upcoming
Trash to Treasure ViII recycled art contest.
The contest is being held in conjunction with Earth Day events to
promote recycling and raise awareness about current issues regarding pollution.
This project began with the El Dorado High School art students adopting a section of the highway to clean up and then turning what they found into artwork. Workshops have been given to educate the community about how they can reuse these materials. These workshops, and other events, will continue with the newly established non-profit, Green Hope Project. It was born out of the desire for former high school students, community members, and local business owners to continue with, and improve upon, what It's Your World Project began.
Artwork must have some component of recycled materials used in it. The judges will take into account the use of materials when choosing works for the exhibition. The theme/subject matter is open, so long as an obvious portion of it is from recycled objects. By means of the Arts, our objective is to raise awareness about environmental concerns. This is one of the ways that we support educational achievement, environmental stewardship, and the arts in our community.
Rules:
-
This competition is open to ALL ages- students and adults in the El Paso, Las Cruces, and Juarez regions.

You may enter individual or group projects in this show. For group projects, you will be placed in the division according to the age of the oldest member in the group. Ex: if you have a middle schooler working with a high schooler on a group project, the entry will be placed into the high school division.
-
All artworks must be the sole creation of the individual(s) submitting the work.
-
All artwork must have at least a good portion of it that is created out of recycled materials.
