Students in all grades are invited to participate in an educational poster contest for the Green+Wellness Event, “Less Screen More Green,” taking place at the Lower Division on Saturday, June 6, 2026.
The project asks students to design a poster about any sustainability or climate-change issue in a way that is age-appropriate, visually engaging, and easy to understand. Posters must explain the problem, show what could happen if nothing is done, and suggest solutions along with the benefits of action. Participants should use images, drawings, charts, and other creative elements, while keeping text organized and readable. Posters should be standard 18×24 or similar. Completed posters are due Monday, June 1, 2026 and can be submitted to Jenny Lando, Anna M, or Rachel W at the LD, Esteban Villafuerte at the UD, or digitally to rachanas@q300pta.org. Winning posters will be displayed at the event, and one from each division will stay up for the rest of the school year.

- Explain the problem using words and images, discuss the consequences of no action on the problem, and include possible solutions and benefits of action! Be creative!
- Standard sized posters of 18″x24″ or close to that size are ideal.
- Make sure it is engaging to an audience by including pictures/drawings, charts, or any other creative way to get the audience to think critically about the issue, and avoid lots of text with no breaks.
- Examples include:
- The problem with Fast Fashion
- Why the insects are disappearing
- Water scarcity in Mexico
- Lack of green spaces in cities
- Litter everywhere: The impact
- All posters that meet this criteria by explaining the problem in an understandable way, offering solutions, and being creative will be selected for display at the Green+Wellness Day event! Judges will choose the most compelling poster from each Division to be displayed at school for the rest of the school year, plus a small sustainable prize!
