To promote recycling and celebrate Earth Day on April 22, the York County Solid Waste Authority sponsored a Recycled Art Contest for York County High School students, and 17 students participated. Contest judging and a public reception were held on April 21.

First place was awarded to "Unfiltered," created by Bella Leonard of Eastern York High School. In second place was "Earth Tech," created by Hailey Kyle of Central York High School. Third place went to "Litterbug," created by Iris Edmunds of Northern York County High School.

Prizes were awarded based on artistic expression, use of recycled materials, and level of technique. All student winners received an art supply gift certificate, and their school's art department was also granted an art supply gift certificate in the same amount.
