Contest advertises environmental club

An environmental art contest hopes to draw new members.

         In honor of Earth Day, the Environmental Club is hosting an Earth Day Art and Poetry contest. This contest allowed different forms of art, rap and poetry. There are different categories for the applicants to compete for: best overall, most meaningful, most eye-catching, and funniest. Two runner ups will also receive a prize. The prize for every winner is a Best Buy gift card. The amount on the card depends on the category. If they win best overall, the winner will receive a $50 gift card, (in addition there will be a party in their honor on Earth Day and their name will be announced on the morning announcement). The winners of the most-meaningful, most eye-catching, and funniest will receive $30 gift cards. The two runner ups will receive $20 gift cards.

         During one of the club’s meeting, the President Iliana Gomez decided that the club should do something special for Earth Day. She decide to continue a campaign that was successful the year before. The club had hosted a similar art contest with a different theme. It was called the Art and Film recycling contest. The winners of the contest got to see their work hanged in Mr. Devlin’s office.

         The President hopes that the contest will bring in more members and increase the popularity of the club.
