For the third year, the DOE is conducting an energy conservation artwork contest. This competition is open to all NYC DOE schools from all grade levels (K-12). Fifteen pieces of original art will be selected that best illustrate how energy can be saved through efficiency and conservation in our schools. The goal of the contest is to create a dialogue and encourage students, teachers, and administrative staff to save energy through art. A twelve month calendar will be produced with two runner ups, a winner for each month of the school year, and a Grand Prize winner for the calendar cover. Prizes will be awarded to all 15 winners. The final art work will be selected based on the design's message, subject relevance, and artistic originality.Contest Rules:
