The Pasco Art of Recycling Contest was formed 18 years ago as collaboration between Pasco County Schools, Pasco County Recycling and the Pasco Arts Council. The purpose of this annual event is to promote environmental awareness, recycling and an appreciation of the arts.
Art work is submitted by Pasco County High School Students and is judged during the first week of February. Fifteen winners are chosen in various categories such as Best Use of Plastic, Best Environmental Concept, and People’s Choice, as well as, overall 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places. Cash awards that range from $100 to $500 are also awarded thanks to generous donations made by community sponsors.
Here are this year's winners:
All artwork is on display at the West Pasco Government Center on Little Rd in New Port Richey through Feb 28. The 15 winning pieces will move to the lobby of building 3 at the District Complex on Highway 41 through the month of March.
