Beautify the Bucket

Registration is open from March 1 – May 1!

The Beautify the Bucket Competition allows participants to take an active role in beautifying Galveston Beaches and improving stewardship behaviors. Participants in the competition paint a blue trash barrel destined for Galveston Beaches based on a theme:

• Ocean & Bay Organisms
• Marine & Aquatic Debris
• Coastal and Marine Ecosystems
• Galveston Beach & Bay Recreational Activities
• Houston Ship Channel

After the competition, the barrels will be added to Galveston’s Beaches where they will be enjoyed by visitors and encourage proper disposal of trash to reduce aquatic trash.

Trash Barrels are limited and are distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis. $20 registration fee.

Bucket must be returned by May 29th at 5 pm with dry paint. Viewing and judging are held on June 10th at East Beach during the Artist Boat World Ocean Day Festival, in Galveston, TX. Winners will be announced at 3:00 pm.

Individuals and groups of all ages can register for a barrel to beautify.  Register for a bucket below. Help us keep our beaches clean and pristine!
