Carton Council Canada will be awarding a $2,000 grant to each of the registered participants in recognition of their recycling education efforts, with special attention paid to food and beverage cartons, provided that they meet the program requirements.
In addition, for the first time since the launch of the Community Education Award program in Canada, each participating organization’s submission will be automatically considered to receive either a first, second or third place award of merit. Submissions will be evaluated for the awards of merit based on the following criteria:
- demonstrated communication improvement,
- utilization of the Carton Council best practices toolkit,
- community participation in the contest (e.g., number of engagement pertaining to social media ad, number of participants in an event, etc.), and
- number of activities.
Based on this evaluation, the first-place winner will receive an additional $3,000. The second-place winner will receive an additional $2,000 and the third-place winner will receive an additional $1,000.
The deadline to submit your entry is November 1st, 2024.
