Each year local groms, 3rd-5th grade,  test their drawing skills in hopes of having their art adorn the sides of the trash cans on the beach.  This year’s winners have been chosen!

Here is a message from Los Angeles County Beaches & Harbors!

The Board of Supervisors selected the 2022 winners of the Can the Trash! Clean Beach Poster Contest.  You can find the winning artwork displayed on trash barrels along LA County Beaches.

Thank you to all the 3rd-5th graders that entered the contest. We appreciate you for taking the time to share your inspiring artwork on how to keep our oceans and beaches pollution-free.

2019 Contest Winners: Ada Shen, Claire Chan, and Amelia De La Torre
