Attention Young Artists and Tree Lovers! California youth ages 5-12 years old are invited to participate in our 2025 Arbor Week Poster Contest! Read the contest theme information and rules below and turn your “tree-mendous” idea into a poster!
2025 Theme: Trees Root Our Community
Trees make our cities and towns feel like home. Their shady branches welcome us outside to play and enjoy time with family, friends, and neighbors. Trees connect people and provide a place for neighbors to meet and get to know each other. Trees invite us to play, exercise, and gather outside together. Trees provide shade to keep us cool. Trees welcome us to relax and enjoy nature.
ELIGIBILITY: The submittal must be original art created by a California youth between the ages of 5-12 years old.
POSTER SIZE AND OTHER REQUIREMENTS:
Artwork must be between 8.5”x11” and 11”x17” and on paper that allows for duplication. Entry should not be matted, mounted, laminated, framed, or folded.

The poster must be related to the theme.
