While cruise lines offering the really cool prize of a free cruise to non-profits for raffles, give-aways and contests is nothing new, one caught our attention as something special.
In their “Treasures of the Texas Coast” Children’s Art Contest, kids are encouraged to learn more about the Texas coast and express what they have learned through their art in the 15Th annual Adopt-A-Beach competition.
“Trashing Texas Beaches isn’t cool” is the official Adopt-A-Beach slogan that must be incorporated into artwork, entries can not be computer-generated but with few exceptions, children are free to creatively use just about any medium.
The grand prize winner and their teacher receive two round-trip coach-class tickets from Continental Airlines to any Continental destination in the 48 contiguous United States, one 7-night Caribbean cruise from Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines departing out of Galveston, Miami, or Ft. Lauderdale and a class party.
We hope the New Year brings more stories of cruise lines involved with environmental awareness with programs and contests just like this one.
