Kentucky students encouraged to enter Adopt-a-Highway Art Contest

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – Kentucky students of all ages are invited to submit original artwork that promotes the goal of keeping our roadsides and streams litter-free and our commonwealth beautiful.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet encouraged students to enter the 2020-2021 Adopt-a-Highway art contest.

The theme is Adopt-a-Highway: For a Litter-Free Kentucky.

There are prizes for the winners, but the real payoff is that our youngest citizens are engaged early in life to promote a cleaner Kentucky, Gov. Andy Beshear said.

Entries must be postmarked no later than Jan. 22, 2021.

Students enrolled in Kentucky public, private or home schools may enter.

The entry form, evaluation criteria and other information for students, parents and teachers are available on the program website.
