The Rotary Youth Poster Contest provides East Contra Costa County middle and high school youth a unique, very public platform and wide audience for expressing their hope, optimism and concerns about issues that affect their lives.
Our contest winners and finalists will see their work featured in newspapers, magazines, and on social media and exhibited in a local showcase for all to see.
Due to the tremendous success of the original poster contest held the last few years in Marin and created by Bruce Burtch, pro bono, the Rotary Clubs of Brentwood and Oakley are very excited to bring the contest to our area.
Cianna Price, the 2021 1st Place High School winner, said “the Brentwood Rotary Club’s poster contest proved a job well done in bringing out some of the creative talent that East Contra Costa County has to offer, and has further inspired me to confidently share my artwork and my message with the world.”
