The design contest is open to Kindergarten through 5th grade Plano students (public, private, and home-schooled) throughout the month of September. Entries (one per child) will be judged on originality, legibility, colorfulness, appropriateness to the theme, and creativity.

The theme of this year’s contest is: “LITTER IS A MONSTER OF A PROBLEM.” Contest requirements are listed on the entry forms, and are also available on the KPB website, www.keepplanobeautiful.org. The contest winner will have his or her design on the 2006 GAC t- shirts, be presented a special certificate by the Mayor during a City Council meeting and be honored during the 2006 GAC Volunteer Appreciation Picnic and the 2006 Plano Community Awards Banquet.
