Monroe Launches Contest To Design CT250 Anniversary Logo

MONROE, CT — The Town of Monroe has announced a community-wide contest to design an official logo for its participation in the nationwide CT250 celebration, marking the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.

Open to all Monroe residents, the contest seeks original designs that incorporate the number “250” alongside the words “Monroe” and “Connecticut.” Submissions must be entered electronically in JPEG format between April 15 and June 15, 2025. The winning design will be used throughout the town’s 2026 commemorative events and promotional materials.

The CT250 initiative encourages communities to reflect on their historical contributions to the nation's founding and ongoing development. Local organizers aim to ensure Monroe’s history is highlighted in a way that resonates across ages and backgrounds.

Entries will be judged by the Monroe CT250 Commission based on visual appeal, design quality, and ease of reproduction. While no monetary prize is offered, the winner will be recognized on official CT250 materials and receive free registration to celebration events.

Full contest rules, submission guidelines, and additional information are available online here or by contacting Library Director Nicole Cignoli at 203-452-2854.
