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.)
