ADOT Kids: ‘Keep It Grand’ Art Challenge

ADOT is challenging kids of all ages to grab their art supplies and create colorful reminders for everyone to keep Arizona and its highways litter-free. Color, doodle or paint the Keep it Grand logo, or use your paper and choice of art materials to show us what a litter-free Arizona means to you.

ADOT will reveal artwork we receive by 5 p.m. Friday, July 26, in a slideshow that will be posted on this page Friday, Aug 2.

Challenge participants will each receive a printable certificate of appreciation for their entries.

Here's how to participate and share your art with the world:

  1. Print and use the logo at the end of this blog post or download it here as a template or for inspiration. Then grab your art supplies to color, doodle or paint the Keep it Grand logo. The possibilities are endless. Use your paper or favorite choice of art materials to express what a litter-free Arizona means to you.
  2. Photograph or scan your masterpiece and email it to [email protected]. We can't post photos that include you, but we'd love to show off your art. Feel free to share your photos with us via Twitter/X using the hashtag #ADOTKids (we're @ArizonaDOT), Facebook (/AZDOT) and Instagram (@Arizona_DOT).
  3. Please send me your questions about ADOT's Adopt a Highway program and the problem of roadside litter. Answers to your questions will be posted along with the slideshow celebrating your art.
  4. Challenge your friends to participate!
  5. Check out our ADOT Kids webpage for more fun activities!

Show your love of a litter-free Arizona and remember to stash your trash responsibly during outdoor activities and no matter your method of transportation, until it can be properly disposed of in a trash receptacle.

Challenge Rules:

  1. Make sure your parent or guardian is OK with you participating.
  2. ADOT reserves the right to share all images of artistic creations on social media.
  3. Your artwork might even find its way onto ADOT's social media accounts.
