The Commission is sponsoring a photo contest open to students from Point Pleasant Borough. The subject of this year’s Celebration and Photo Contest is, “Be an Eco-friendly Neighbor”, concentrating on what can you do to reduce the impacts on your neighbor and your neighborhood. 

The contest winners' photos will be included in a “Earth Year” calendar given away during this year’s Earth Day Celebration. The 12 winning photo entries will be awarded prizes. The Commission is looking for sponsors to support the contest prizes, the annual scholarship and the Celebration’s operations. Any monetary donations are greatly appreciated.
