Explanation:
The City of Hollywood is recognizing Hollywood resident student artists who participated in Broward Sierra Group’s Earth Day - Plastic Waste Art Competition. The annual contest encourages middle and high school students (grades 7-12) living in Broward County to create art from recycled materials to raise awareness about plastic pollution, with submissions displayed at the Earth Day festival at Anne Kolb Nature Center.
This year’s theme was Water Is Everything, and students were required to create original art using plastic waste or landfill-bound materials. The art contest serves to engage local students in environmental advocacy by creating art from waste materials. The core purpose is to educate and inspire action regarding plastic pollution, climate change, and sustainability. The first, second and third place winners are all Hollywood residents.
