"Are You the Sort who Sorts?" title on upper left side, in green and blue. Below the title reads "Residence Challenge: Nov. 2-13" in blue. Below that, text reads "All you (and your friends!) have to do is sort your waste the best in your residence lounge! The $500 Prize will be given as Trent cash to RAs, to fund a celebration with their community". There is a gold exclamation bubble in the top middle, that says "Trent Cash Prizes" in gray. Below that, there are three rectangular pillars. Left to right, green, blue, and dark gray. The green one has a leaf graphic in a lighter green, the blue one has a recycling symbol in a lighter blue, and the gray one has a trash bag symbol in lighter gray. Behind both the green and gray pillars is a graphic of a groundhog. The groundhog on the left is holding a pile of unsorted waste, and the groundhog on the right is holding a smartphone. On top of the blue pillar is a gold trophy with a star symbol. On the upper rig
