How Can I Participate?
Create works of art with chalk expressing an Earth Day theme! If you choose to draw on city trails, please be mindful of walkers and bikers and give them the right-of-way or use only one side of the trail so that people can go around you. You can use your own chalk or pick up a set at one of the designated locations (see below). Take a picture of the finished product and submit the picture by April 17, 2021 to cmbrown@fredericksburgva.gov.
How Can I Win?
Entries will be posted on the Fredericksburg Park, Recreation & Events Facebook Page. Winners will be chosen by the number of likes (or reactions) each picture receives by April 23 at noon!
Where Can I Get Chalk?
You can always buy or use your own chalk for this contest but there will also be a limited amount for pick-up in a few locations around the City of Fredericksburg. Between April 15-17, you can stop by one of these four sites to pick up your own set of sidewalk chalk. These are available first come, first serve. Please limit one per family please!
