The contest complements EPA’s children’s books Why is Coco Orange? and Why is Coco Red?

Here is some information about the contest:
To participate in the contest, EPA recommends reading or watching one of the Coco and then having the children create their own Coco. A photo of the art needs to be submitted by email to rotenberg.nirit@epa.gov by 10/31/2025 at 11:59 pm. A flier for the contest is attached sharing the information on how to submit.

We have PDFs and videos of the books in multiple languages.
