Keep our Air Clean Student Art Contest logo

The North Carolina Clean Energy Technology Center (NCCETC) has officially launched the 3rd Annual “Keep Our Air Clean” Student Art Contest, where students in North Carolina from kindergarten through high school can submit their artwork for a chance to be featured on billboards across the state.

Artwork should focus on actions that people can take to reduce air pollution from vehicles and help keep our air clean. Examples include walking, biking, using public transportation, carpooling, using electric vehicles or biofuels, and more. Please make artwork family-friendly, non-partisan and non-copyrighted. You can learn about the alternatives at Clean Transportation or Fuel What Matters.

See last year’s winners at Winners announced for the “Keep Our Air Clean” Student Art Contest and Student Art Contest Winners Share Their Story. Art submissions will be accepted through Sunday, April 19, 2020. Public voting will begin on Monday, April 20 and last through Sunday, April 26 – stay tuned for a link to vote once all submissions are received!

Submit your artwork online or email Nicole Wilson at  nadeck@ncsu.edu, including the artist’s first and last name, grade level and school name, if applicable.

The winner will be chosen based on:

  • Relevance and appropriateness of the message
