Poster Contest Motivates Litter Free Action
The winning poster for ages 8-12 in last year's poster contest by Victoria Gizycki, Ebinger Elementary School.
Friends of the Chicago River launches our annual student poster contest to inspire action to improve our rivers and communities by creating a Litter Free Chicago-Calumet River system. The theme of this year’s poster contests is “Taking Action for a Litter Free River,” and celebrates our upcoming annual Chicago River Day on May 10.
Submissions are due by April 11, 2025.
With the support of Waste Management, the contest is free and open to all Chicagoland youth ages eight to 18. Submissions may be made individually or through a school or community group.
Winners will be announced in May, with selected posters being displayed in a special exhibit at Friends’ McCormick Bridgehouse & Chicago River Museum during the 2025 season.
More detail about contest guidelines and how to make a submission are available at chicagoriver.org.
