City Announces 2015 'What I Love About Campbell' Poster Contest

News submitted from the City of Campbell:

Today, the Civic Improvement Commission (CIC) announced its annual Student Poster Contest, which is open to all 5th grade students residing in Campbell or attending a public or private school in Campbell.

With the recurring theme of “What I Love about Campbell,” participants are asked to creatively illustrate people, places or things within Campbell that they enjoy. Submissions will be evaluated and rewarded based on neatness, legibility, and adherence to the contest’s theme through representation of Campbell, as well as on grammar and spelling.

“All of the Commissioners are very excited about this year’s 5th grade poster contest. We know it will be tough choosing the top winners. We anticipate once again receiving outstanding works of art showing many wonderful things about life in Campbell” said Sharon Teeter, Civic Improvement Commission Chairperson.

Prizes, including the grand prize of a new mountain bike, donated by Wheel Away Cycle Center in Campbell, will be awarded for the top posters selected. The poster winners will be invited to the May 14 Civic Improvement Commission meeting at which time the awards will be presented.
