golden apple logoContest Information for Schools in New York City

The Golden Apple Awards  offers schools in NYC prizes* and recognition for documenting their model school recycling programs, waste prevention initiatives, or beautification projects.

The Golden Apple Awards consists of three contests. In each contest, schools compete against other schools within their grade division (elementary, intermediate, or high school) for borough and citywide honors.

Winners of the 2009 Golden Apple Awards have been announced. Congratulations to all of the winners, and thank you to every student, teacher, faculty member, and custodial staff member who competed. You make New York City shine!

Participating students from this year's winning schools will receive certificates of recognition and other goodies, and the NYC Recycling Characters will attend award presentations to honor the contest's citywide winners.
