Creative Skills Wanted – Environmental Artwork and Slogan Contest
Paper or plastic? In today’s environmentally-aware marketplace, the correct choice is neither. A contest will determine the best way to communicate this message to Plano residents through a logo or slogan to promote reusable bags.
Entries are available at all libraries in the City of Plano and at the Whole Foods store located at Preston Rd. and W. Park Blvd. Entries may be downloaded online at www.livegreeninplano.com. The deadline is Friday, Oct. 31 and can be either mailed or brought in person to Parkway Service Center, 4200 W. Plano Pkwy., just off Plano Parkway and Commerce Road.
The artwork and slogan contest for reusable bags is open to all Plano residents, regardless of age. Entries are limited to one per person. Schools are encouraged to participate, along with environmental clubs, non-profits and church organizations. Each entry must be accompanied by an official entry form.
The purpose of the contest is to educate the public about the importance of using reusable bags and ultimately, how to avoid the negative social, financial and environmental effects of plastic bags.
Winning entries may be featured in a variety of marketing campaigns, including but not limited to the following: posters, reusable bags, t-shirts and the Live Green in Plano Web site. Winners will receive a $100 gift certificate from Whole Foods.
For more information, contact Casey Eckert, Environmental Education Coordinator, at caseye@plano.gov or by calling (972)769-4216.
