Energy by Design:
A Visual Arts Contest for Students

Energy by Design is a poster contest developed by Nicor and the National Energy Foundation for children grades K-8, designed to combine a student's artistic talent with the ability to portray how to use energy efficiently.

Teachers can order packets for the whole class. Visit the Energy by Design Web site for contest rules, prizes, important deadlines, and to order your materials.

“We should plant trees and bushes around our houses to help save energy.
Plants around the house in summer help keep it cool and warm in the winter like a green blanket.”
— Demetrius, Gary D. Wright School (Grade Category K-2)
