In honor of Earth Day, Keep Riverside Clean and Beautiful (KRCB) invites you to participate in the Clean Campus Competition: Home Edition. In the past, this was a friendly competition organized by students and their schools where they beautified their campus in creative and environmentally friendly ways. This year, however, we have made some changes to the competition so students can continue to expand their environmental awareness from home. Your students can participate in one to four categories that are designed to provide a hands-on approach to litter prevention, recycling, beautification, and water conservation. The competition will be from April 1st to April 30th, 2021. First, second, and third place winners will be chosen from elementary, middle, high school and private schools.

Deadline to sign up is Friday, March 19, 2021. Additional instructions will be emailed upon receipt of your application. Clean Campus Competition Home Edition application can also be accessed on our website at www.krcb.com. Thank you for your participation. Please contact: Alex at (951) 683-7100 x 212 or arendon@riverside-chamber.com for questions. For application click here.
