Pro Portsmouth Children’s Day Logo Contest Underway

PORTSMOUTH, NH — Children’s Day, produced by Pro Portsmouth, will once again take place in Downtown Portsmouth on the first Sunday in May – this year the event takes place from noon to 4 p.m. on May 7, 2017. As is tradition, Pro Portsmouth invites our young artists to share their talent with us and participate in the Children’s Day Logo Contest, according to a press statement.

The Logo will be seen on event maps, the event website, Children’s Day T-shirts and all marketing collateral.

Here are a few guidelines for 2017:

• Artists under age 12 are eligible to submit drawings and designs
• Please use a MAXIMUM of 4 colors
• The image should be drawn and submitted on 8.5” x 11” paper
• You can use colored paper, markers, crayons and colored pencils to create your design – the key: the image must be flat (so it can be scanned into a computer)
• The deadline for submission is Wednesday, March 29
• Ideas: Show us what the day means to you…fill in the blank: “Children’s Day is BLANK”; try to incorporate the year 2017.
• Get creative – your drawings should be festive, fun and recognizable.

Please submit your entries to: Pro Portsmouth, Inc., P.O. Box 967, Portsmouth NH 03802, Attention: Barbara Massar

REMINDER: We need you… In addition to corporate sponsorships, Pro Portsmouth invites small businesses and community members to add their names to the list of supporters for Children’s Day.
