Poster Contest for Connecticut High School & College Students Announced
In July 2020, the Connecticut Green Bank issued its first Green Liberty Bond as part of the 50th anniversary celebration of Earth Day. Designed with U.S. War Bonds as an inspiration, the Green Bank used four posters as part of its marketing campaign to increase awareness. The 2020 Green Liberty Bond issuance generated nearly $17 million to support the Green Bank’s residential solar investment program, which helps homeowners add solar to their roofs.
Now, we are inviting current Connecticut high school and college/graduate students to submit posters tying together the themes of Green Bonds Us, Green Liberty Bonds, environmental justice, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and Connecticut.
