We are excited to announce the 2021 Virtual Earth Day Art Contest! Through the contest, we hope to spark the creativity of all those who love the Lake Tahoe – Donner region. The contest will run from March 25th until April 16th. Winners will be announced on Earth Day, April 22nd.

This year’s contest theme is “Recreate Responsibly.” Through art, we hope to inform and remind those who visit our state parks to leave nature as they found it and to leave no trace. The great influx of visitors to the Tahoe Basin and the Lake Tahoe – Donner State Parks has highlighted how important it is to protect our precious nature.

The 2021 Virtual Earth Day Art Contest calls all artists and creatives to submit original artwork in the form of drawing, painting, or mixed media that reflects the theme “Recreate Responsibly.” Contest entries can be submitted to the Sierra State Parks Foundation and will be judged by the SSPF Board Members. Entries will be evaluated on creativity and theme.

SSPF invites people of all ages and from all regions to participate in the online competition! There will be 1 winner in each age division: Pre-K and Kindergarten, Grades 1-3, Grades 4-6, Grades 7-12, and Adults. The winners will be announced on Earth Day, April 22.
