Alicia Cowl's Grand Prize winning masterpiece.

Announcing the Grand Prize winner for the 2008 A Litter Bit Better! Poster Contest - Alicia Cowl and her "Trasketball" picture!

We challenged all fourth grade students in Rochester to draw a brightly colored picture that displays:

• Why it is important to not litter
• How you will make Rochester A Litter Bit Better!

There were so many fun and colorful entries that it was a tough choice but our team of judges narrowed it down to one winner per school (who submitted entries) and then one Grand Prize winner.
