We're teaming up with Anaheim Ducks and Inside The Outdoors to celebrate those making a BIG difference in green initiatives! Rules below to win an autographed Trevor Zegras jersey, virtual chat with the Ducks player, plus prize pack for the winning classroom.

Nominate Your OC Eco-Heroes: Know an Orange County educator, student, or classroom championing sustainability? Share their story on social media to enter the contest. Whether it's composting, waste diversion, or gardening—share with @OCWaste why they deserve recognition. Nominations must be based in Orange County. Educators, classrooms, homeschools and students in Orange County are eligible (an educator teaching in OC but living in another county can still be nominated as long as the classroom is in OC).

How to Enter:

  1. Follow @OCWaste, @InsideTheOutdoors, and @AnaheimDucks on Instagram, Facebook or X.
  2. Comment on the contest post with why your nominee stands out. 
  3. Tag your school or classroom in the contest post.

Contest Dates: September 24 - October 8 

Winner Announcement: October 11 (just in time for the first Ducks game!).

Prizes: 

  • Grand Prize: Autographed Trevor Zegras jersey, virtual chat with the Ducks player, and a prize pack for the winning classroom!
  • Runner-Up: Ducks string backpacks for participating classrooms.

Let’s recognize and reward those who are leading the charge in sustainability! Learn more about the EcoChallenge curriculum here: Anaheim Ducks Go Green
