Keep Pennsylvania Beautiful has announced its annual Litter Hawk Youth Award Program for students in kindergarten through sixth grade, encouraging environmental stewardship and creativity. This year’s theme, “Celebrate America250 — Keep It Beautiful!,” honors the nation’s upcoming 250th anniversary. Participants can enter projects by grade level: posters (K–4), essays (grade 5), or videos (grade 6). First- and second-place winners will receive certificates, while all participants will get recognition and a Litter Hawk sticker. Entries are due Jan. 31, with winners announced April 2 during an awards ceremony at the Pennsylvania Capitol. More details and entry forms are available at keeppabeautiful.org.
