Celebrating America 250 with art, essays, and video
From PA Rep. Martin Causer,
Submissions are now being accepted for the 2026 Litter Hawk Youth Award Program, a recognition program for students in kindergarten through sixth grade to share how they help keep Pennsylvania beautiful.
This year’s theme is Celebrate America250 – Keep It Beautiful, inviting Pennsylvania students to share their creativity and inspire pride in our communities as we approach America’s 250th anniversary.
Students in kindergarten through grade four are invited to submit a poster, while students in grade five are asked to submit an essay and students in grade six should submit a video.
First place and second place winners will receive a certificate. All participants will receive a litter hawk sticker. The deadline to participate is Saturday, Jan. 31. Winners will be announced in April in conjunction with a display of winning entries at the Capitol.
