Grand Prize Contest Information
We award a grand prize winner of the Elmers Glue Crew Recycling Program toward the end of each school year. Your grand prize submission builds over the course of the year. You'll notice throughout the year, we'll ask you to submit lesson plans, pictures of your recycling bins, essay projects, etc. All this information is collected and considered part of your Grand Prize submission.
While the amount of empty bottles and sticks you recycle is important, the ultimate judging criteria is HOW you incorporate the Elmer's Glue Crew Program into your classroom. We ask that you share anything that shows your classroom's commitment to recycling — projects and ideas, lesson plans and other recycling-related materials to help increase the entry's chance of winning. Below are additional items to consider when developing the entry. In addition, your materials and photos may even be featured on the Program Resource page. So don't be shy — show us what you're doing!
- Classroom recycling projects
- Photos of "green" projects, displays and/or your decorated collection box
- Your classroom goal for the Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program
- Anything else that demonstrates your classroom's commitment to recycling and the Elmer's Glue Crew Recycling Program
We're providing these details now so you can best plan your year. Good luck!
