SNA is
pleased to announce the ‘Design a Candidate’ contest,
challenging students nationwide to design and name candidates
that they would most like to see run in Vote for School Lunch
2008 – Presidential Edition.
The three
designs judged to be the nation’s best will be recreated
professionally, and will compete in the 2008 elections,
running against Pete Pizza, as well as the eventual winner of
the 2007 Vote for School Lunch race. This new student contest
represents a huge promotional opportunity for SNA members and
an incredibly exciting prospect for students.
Contest Information
- Students (from grades 1-12) should create a
sketch or drawing of an original Vote for School Lunch
candidate, one they would like to see run in the 2008 Vote for
School Lunch elections. Drawings or sketches can be submitted
as:
- Traditional drawing or sketch
- Design,
using computer software like Adobe or other computer design
software.
- Entries
must be original, not plagiarized and not evocative of any
existing commercial characters so as not to infringe any
copyrights or trademarks.
- The
‘Design a Candidate’ contest has a local and national element.
All entries by students must be made to a local competition
(to be organized by and held in schools or school districts).
- School
nutrition professionals are encouraged to arrange a
school-wide ‘Design a Candidate’ contest and judge the entries
to determine a maximum of three overall winners per school.
Judging by school grade level may help you to stimulate
interest (but remember you can only pick 3 winners per school
to forward to the national contest).
- 3 overall
winners per school can be entered (by SNA members or school
officials) to the national contest. To judge the national
contest, a panel of judges will select a group of finalists,
and then three overall winners, based on pre-established
criteria, which will be published as part of the official
contest rules. SNA will not accept entries directly from
students.
- Local
‘Design a Candidate’ contest can begin at ‘Back to School
2007’ and entries to the national ‘Design a Candidate’ contest
will be accepted between August 1, 2007 and October 31, 2007.
- Three
national winners will be professionally re-created and will be
entered as candidates in the Vote for School Lunch
2008—Presidential Edition.
- Deadline
for SNA to receive entries from schools is October 31, 2007.
