The deadline for the Arbor Day Celebration Poster Contest is Approaching.
As part of the Saturday, April 30th Arbor Day Celebration, the city is hosting an all-age art poster contest.
The contest’s theme is “If I Were a Tree.” The theme is designed to provide wonder and inspire a greater appreciation of the beautiful assortment of trees that make up Normandy Park’s community forest. There will be four winning entries, one from each of the following categories: elementary school, middle school, high school, and adult. First-place winners for each category will receive a prize package. Winners will be announced at the Arbor Day Celebration. Click this link for more information on the poster contest. All posters are due to the City of Normandy Park by April 26, 2022.
Please join us Saturday, April 30th, at Marvista Park from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm for the celebration.
