2021 Walk & Roll Air Quality Art Contest now open for submissions
Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) is now accepting submissions for the 2021 Walk & Roll Art Contest. Students in grades kindergarten through 12th grade will have the chance to win a free bicycle and safety gear when they submit their artwork by 11:59 pm on November 12.
Submissions may be turned in via email at TCAGInfo@tularecag.ca.gov or in person at the TCAG office at 210 N Church Street in Visalia. Finalists will be presented to the TCAG Board of Governors at their monthly meeting in December if public safety permits.
Submissions must include the child’s name, grade, school, and phone number to be eligible. The art contest is part of a continued effort to get Tulare County children to think creatively about the ways we can choose active transportation in our daily lives, reduce our contribution to environmental pollutants, and work to improve air quality.
As a result of the pandemic, last year’s Walk & Roll Art Contest winners could not be honored in front of the full TCAG board. The grand prize bikes, sponsored by 4Creeks and QK, Inc., were instead delivered directly to the winning artists at their homes. 2020 winning artists included Palo Verde Elementary student Emmera; Oak Valley Elementary students Erick and Scarlett; and Burton Middle School student Yoselin.
The Walk & Roll Art Contest is centered around National Walk & Roll to School Day, which occurs on October 6 of this year. TCAG has held the contest in some capacity since 2004, and they appreciate the continued support and partnership with Tulare County Office of Education, Create TC, and other community partners.
