Student Poster Competition
The CT Coalition for Climate Action is pleased to announce the third annual Climate Change Student Poster Contest! This is a wonderful opportunity for students to engage creatively with important environmental issues and raise
awareness about the impact of climate change on our planet.
As you know, in 2022, Connecticut became one of the first states to include Climate Change Studies (Grades 5–12) as part of its science curriculum in public schools. In celebration, we invite your child to create a poster that highlights the importance of protecting the environment and the role each of us plays in reducing climate change. Posters should be original, colorful, and thought-provoking, and we encourage students to use their imagination to express their ideas. This also makes a great project as a lead up to Earth Day.
NEW FOR 2026: In addition to individual student entries, we are excited to introduce a K–4 Classroom Poster Category, with one poster submission per class. The winning classroom will receive a $100 Staples® gift card along with a visit from either Leah Lopez of Save the Sound or Save the Sound’s Soundkeeper, Bill Lucy.
Looking back at 2025
