Penn State Shenango’s annual Upcycled Art Contest, which takes place in conjunction with the campus’ Earth Day celebration April 6, is seeking entries. The contest is designed to inspire students from kindergarten to sixth grade to create treasure from “trash.”

The art contest contains two categories: one for small groups, and “Reflection on Reuse,” which requires students to work individually to create a two-dimensional or three-dimensional artwork using material that has been previously used and/or destined for recycling.
