Enter Earth Day Upcycle Art Contest



Everyone is invited to enter the Upcycle Art Contest in celebration of Earth Day at Salt Lake Community College.

SLCC Earth Day 2019 aims to raise awareness and promote action around environmental issues affecting our local Salt Lake City community, the state of Utah, and the planet. This year, Earth Day will be held on April 22nd, 2019. Most activities will be based at the Redwood Campus at 4600 South Redwood Road.

Protect Our Species is the official theme of Earth Day 2019 throughout the world. More information on protecting species can be found here: https://www.earthday.org/campaigns/endangered-species/earthday2019/.

Upcycling is the process of reusing discarded objects or materials in such a way as to create a product of a higher quality or value than the original. As a medium, in keeping with Earth Day's essential "3 Rs" (reduce, reuse, and recycle), SLCC encourages artists to incorporate upcycled material into their art. Examples may include, but are not limited to:

- Mixed-media collages
- Assemblages
- Installation spaces consisting of recycled refuse or found objects
- Using old paints or repurposing materials for the purposes of creating new paintings or sculpture
- Readymade sculpture

Judges are looking for enthusiastic artists to create upcycled artwork that supports the goals of SLCC Earth Day 2019 and the Protect Our Species theme.
All work must be installed by April 17th.

The Protect Our Species Art Exhibition will run between April 18th - 25th at the Redwood campus.

The grand prize for this contest is $500 and the runners up will receive $100. Winners will be announced on the 22nd of April, during SLCC’s Earth Day Festival.

This contest is open to the public. Please submit this form (click "Next" button at bottom of page) by March 25th, 2019 to express your interest in participating in the SLCC Earth Day Upcycle Art Contest for 2019. You will receive notice by March 29th, 2019 about whether you have been selected to participate in the contest based on the answers provided in this form. Official rules and regulations, as well as contest criteria, will be sent to selected artists at that time.

The Center for Prior Learning Receives an Honorable Mention

Today, SLCC's Credit for Prior Learning department received an Honorable Mention from the  Council for Adult and Experiential Learning (CAEL ) and the  Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education  for its intentional approach and for expanding student options to receive credit for prior learning.  Credit for Prior Learning (CPL)  allows students to obtain college credit for knowledge and skills acquired outside of the traditional academic environment. This is exceptionally beneficial for adult learners, who, according to CAEL, have a 17% higher chance of graduating compared to those adults who don’t earn credits through prior learning programs.
