The contest is open for school students of classes 1 to 9.

The competition will be divided into two parts: for eco-banners “Preserve Our Earth!”, and for hand-made compositions made of recyclable materials “Second Life of Packaging.”

The winners will be determined in three age groups: classes 1-5, 6-7, and 8-9.

Among other things, the jury will be grading the techniques used in making each submission, the impression it leaves, its environmental orientation, quality of work, vividness, and expression.

The hand-made compositions must be shaped as garden figurines or installations, and consist of plastic bottles, tinfoil, glass, tin cans and other poorly degradable items.

The contest will last through May 31.
