Billboard contest open

Keep Oregon Green is celebrating its 80-year history by unveiling its first billboard poster art contest, asking Oregonians of all ages to create and submit entries and share their vision for keeping Oregon free of wildfire.

“We are excited to celebrate our important milestone by offering this fun opportunity to all Oregon residents. As over 70% of Oregon’s wildfires are human-caused, the power of prevention is 100% our shared responsibility,” said Kristin Babbs, president of Keep Oregon Green. “The purpose of the poster contest is to involve the public in helping reduce the number of careless wildfires we see each year and remind everyone how critical it is to prevent them.”

The contest opens on June 1, and the entry deadline is 5 p.m., Aug. 9, 2021 (Smokey Bear’s birthday).

All submitted artwork will be reviewed in fall of 2021, and Oregon will become an open-air art gallery in 2022, showcasing the first-place winning artwork on billboards at major intersections, highways and interstates across the state. There will be three separate divisions based on age.
