Panhellenic HELMEPA Junior's Drawing Contest

As HELMEPA is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its founding, we invited Primary School students to get inspired from our iconic Seagull and the timeless message "NO garbage, NO plastics in our seas and on our coasts" and create drawings with the theme:

“Our seagull. The seagull of HELMEPA”

Entries should be submitted in one of the following three categories by Friday, March 11th:

1. Kindergartens & Special Education Schools

2. 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd Grade

3. 4^th, 5^th, 6^th Grade
