The Yolo-Solano Air Quality Management District invites students in transitional kindergarten through 12th grade to participate in the 2026 Clean Air Art Contest!
This year’s theme, “Heroes for Clean Air,” encourages students to showcase how they can help improve air quality in their communities. Whether it’s riding a bike, planting trees, or reducing pollution, we want to see your creative ideas brought to life.
The contest will recognize 12 winners. Air District staff will select first-, second-, and third-place winners in each of the following grade categories: TK–2, 3–5, 6–8, and 9–12. Winners will receive Amazon gift cards ($30 for first place and $25 for second and third place) and will have their artwork featured on stickers and other materials distributed throughout the community. Students must attend schools within District boundaries, which include all of Yolo County and the northeastern portion of Solano County, including Dixon, Rio Vista, and Vacaville. Artwork must be submitted on 8.5” x 11” paper. Entries, along with completed digital entry forms, may be submitted online or delivered in person to the District office at 1947 Galileo Court, Suite 103, Davis, CA 95618.
