October 28, 2013 Announcing Three JASON Art Contests to Challenge Your Students' Creativity!  Cell Phone Recycling Awareness Contest Deadline January 15, 2014 Calling all artists, filmmakers, and recyclers! Students in grades K-12 are invited to participate in a national recycling awareness contest sponsored by JASON Learning and the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI). The theme of the contest is cell phone recycling awareness. Americans discard millions of cell phones annually. Most cell phones contain precious metals and plastics that can save energy and resources when recycled, but when disposed of improperly, can release toxic materials into the environment. How could you convince your friends, relatives, and others to recycle their old cell phones instead of throwing them away? Create an original video or poster in the style of a public service announcement with your creative answer to this question, and you might win a prize! The contest is open to all students living in the United States and enrolled in grades K-12 during the 2013-2014 school year. Students can enter the contest as individuals or as pairs. Each individual or pair can submit either a video or a poster to the contest. One video and one poster will be selected as finalists from each of three grade bands: K-4, 5-8, and 9-12. Two overall grand-prize winners will be selected - one from all video finalists and one from all poster finalists. (Two grand-prize winning entrants representing the overall best poster and video from all grade brackets will also receive a trip for the entrant(s) and a parent or guardian to ISRI's Annual Convention & Exposition to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, April 6-10, 2014!) All entries must be submitted by January 15, 2014. Winners will be selected by March 1, 2014.

Sustainable development is a way to use the resources we need to live healthy and fulfilling lives without endangering the future well-being of the planet and all the creatures that call it home. Having sustainable seas means using our aquatic resources to help meet our needs in terms of food, transportation, and recreation, but doing so in a responsible way. What is one specific thing people could do to create healthier, more sustainable seas? Create an original poster with your answer to this question, and you might win a prize! This contest is open to individual students living in North America and enrolled in grades K-12 during the 2013-2014 school year. All entries must be submitted by February 28, 2014, and winners will be selected by March 31, 2014.
