Contest Details

This year, we have added a contest for ages 10 – 13 to design a bookmark to help celebrate ICAW. The winning design will be shared with volunteers and others across the country and help get the message out about the benefits of composting. The theme for the bookmark contest is β€œComposting in My Community”. The design should have something to do with compost. You do not have to write the theme on your bookmark. The theme will be added to the bottom of the winning bookmark design. The winner will receive a $100 gift card to Amazon.

Guidelines

  • Bookmark must be 3”x 8”. Other sizes will not be accepted.
  • You can draw your design on the paper template and submit it or you can design it another way, keeping it at 3”x 8” and submit that design as a jpg.
  • Please note, AI generated designs will not be accepted.
  • Must be ages 10 – 13 to enter.
