Creativity - unique and innovative ways that have been used to market the program, raise awareness and generate interest
Participation - unique and innovative ways successful programs increased participation and tonnage collected
Partnerships - innovative partnerships (community, business, non-profit organizations) used to promote increased recovery
Four winners in each category will receive a $1,500 cash prize and a piece of original framed artwork, and will be recognized in local, national media outlets. Winners and finalists will also be featured on AF&PA's paperrecycles.org website.
