Fairfax County’s Office of Environmental and Energy Coordination (OEEC) invites students to showcase how they are taking action for our planet in the Sustain Fairfax Earth Month Youth Art Contest. This contest celebrates the real, climate‑friendly steps young people are taking and how those actions benefit our environment and community. It connects directly to the Sustain Fairfax Challenge, an online platform where residents track and share their climate actions.

Participants will fall into one of three categories, grades 4-6, grades 7-8, and grades 9-12. Students can submit original artwork, including designs, photographs, or drawings, to inspire residents to complete climate actions in our community.
