Use your Artistic Skills To Help A Pet

The Marin Humane Society held its first Poster Contest in 1913, so it is a long- standing tradition that we are proud to restore! For the first time in many years, the Marin Humane Society is holding a poster contest for Marin County students in grades 1-8. This year’s theme is “Be Kind to Animals” in celebration of “Be Kind to Animals” week, which is the first full week in May.

Contest Rules
Original artwork (no clipart) must be submitted on 8 ½x11 paper. Artwork must be completely flat (i.e. no 3-D art or objects glued to paper) and have no words or text. Submissions cannot be returned.

Submission Guidelines
Deadline is April 14, 2012. Entries must include the contest registration form (included on back) and should be mailed to:
Marin Humane Society, Education
Department, 171 Bel Marin Keys Blvd., Novato, CA 94949

Prizes
1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners will have their artwork displayed at the Marin Humane Society during the month of May in commemoration of “Be Kind to Animals Week” (May 6–12).
