1. How are the winners determined?

A committee will sort through art for each grade level until they come to a unanimous decision on the top five pieces of art. The artwork is then sent out in a survey to all KDHE employees. These votes will determine the winners.

2. Why doesn't the public get to vote?

Since we accept artwork from all over the state, school size varies greatly. By keeping voting internally, we can keep voting fair and not have a large school outvote a smaller one.

3. Will my students get their art back?

No. Unfortunately, we receive hundreds of submissions for each grade level. Getting everyone's artwork back to the right person would be very difficult. We recommend you make copies of your student's artwork before you send it in.

4. What kind of medium can the artist use?

Artist's choice! Colored pencil, crayon, paint, charcoal; we have seen it all.

5. How will we know who won?

The teacher of the winning student will be contacted by email. Winners will also be announced on the Keep It Clean Kansas Facebook and Instagram pages.

6. Will there be a party for the winners this year?

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we will not be having a party. We are sad that we won't celebrate the winners in person, but everyone's safety is a top priority. We will be using the funds generally spent on the party to award each of the winners a gift card.
