Special Earth Day Contest!

I can hardly believe it, but today is the day we have all been waiting for - Earth Day 2016! In honor of this wonderful holiday, the SCRATCHies Team is hosting an all-new LOGO CONTEST:

'Eccentric Emblems' Contest Description and Rules:

Description/Brief Overview: The SCRATCHies Team proudly hosts our special Earth Day 2016 logo contest, Eccentric Emblems. Earth Day is a day of celebration, gratitude, and everything nice about our world. The contest is meant to be a fun way of showing our thanks for Mother Earth. In this event, artsy contestants will design a potential logo for SCRATCHies. This is a grand undertaking, as we WILL actually use the winning student's emblem, or logo, design. Don't really feel like doing Habitat Means Home or just feel up to a creative challenge? Read our rules and get that quirky pencil sketching!

Rules: 

  • Design can be on any blank paper. Paper can be any color suitable for your logo design.(Binder paper not allowed unless you ask; watercolor paper, copy paper, construction paper, cardstock, etc. all acceptable)
  • Design must be at least 3 by 5 inches, at most 9 by 12 inches.
  • All mediums acceptable - watercolor, colored pencils, crayons, chalk/oil pastel, oil paint, or even just a graphite pencil sketch. However, pencil sketch must not be a scribble. (We don't need an amazing masterpiece: we just want your creative ideas.)
  • Design must contain the words 'SCRATCHies Incorporated' (SCRATCHies Inc. is fine, too)
  • Design highly recommended to be about the environment. (If adding animals, do not just add one animal - either put multiple animals or none.)
  • Design must be appropriate and suitable for our purpose - NO memes, inappropriate language, Illuminati, or anti-environment additions

Deadlines:

  • Completed logo design must be submitted to Julia Zhan or Tanisha Srivatsa by Wednesday, June 8th
  • Prizes:
  • FIRST PLACE: The first place winner gets a prize, a certificate of achievement, and a surprise prize. (We will specify what the prize is soon.)
  • SECOND PLACE: The second place winner would get a certificate of achievement and a prize. Depending on the number of participants, the SCRATCHies Team may or may not give out 2nd, 3rd place awards.
  • THIRD PLACE: The third place winner would get a certificate of achievement and a prize. (Again, prizes will be specified later.)

Google Forms Applications

Hey guys! I'm going to ask you a favor, and I really hope you'll help us out and do this. Whenever someone fills out an application form to SCRATCHies, Julia and I spend OUR time reading YOUR applications, and we schedule a recess out of OUR time to interview YOU. Unfortunately, 36% of the  job applications we receive are incorrectly filled out, and often intentionally! Now, since we're spending so much of OUR time helping you to get into our NPO, the least you could do is fill out the forms correctly.
