Arbor Month Art Contest

Arbor Day Art Contest
Trees! Trees! Trees!

In celebration of Lake Oswego Arbor Month and in honor of 34 years of Tree City USA status, the City is hosting a Trees! Trees! Trees! themed art contest for K-5th students residing in Lake Oswego.

The recently published State of the Urban Forest Report describes that Lake Oswego has 53.4% tree canopy cover citywide, the highest canopy cover in the Portland region among cities of comparable size. The urban forest tree canopy includes tall trees, short trees, narrow trees, broad trees, evergreen trees, deciduous trees, old trees, young trees, and all sorts of tree species, so create a work of art featuring trees in the Lake Oswego urban forest. Entries will be displayed electronically at City Hall and the Public Library.

The contest begins on Saturday, April 1, 2023 and entries must be received by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, April 23, 2023. Winners will be notified on National Arbor Day, April 28, 2023, and prizes will be awarded at the Lake Oswego Farmers’ Market on Saturday, May 20, 2023.
