Earth Day Ottawa | Events | Cloth Bag Design

Cloth Bag Design Contest

Grades 1 to 6

From all submissions, one design will be featured on the Official Earth Day Ottawa 2011 Cloth Bag. Second and Third prizes will also be awarded.

Earth Day Ottawa will invite elementary school students (grades 1 to 6) to enter 8 1/2" x 11" colour designs for the FRONT of a cloth bag.
Entries must be received by EDO by Thursday, April 5, 2011. Mail or drop off to Elaine Gibson, 56 Robson Court, Kanata, ON, K2K 2W1.
You may use up to four colours in your design, including black. Bags are beige. Entries must be hand drawn.
Entries will be judged on attractiveness, the usability of the design for a screen print, and the use of symbols that clearly suggest Earth Day and Ottawa. The Earth Day Canada logo may be included. Winners will be announced on April 9, 2011.
The best design will be printed on Cloth Bags and distributed to EDO volunteers and prizewinners. Some may also be sold.
Prizes will be awarded to the top three entries including an official Earth Day Ottawa cloth bag with the design of the winning artist.
The chosen entries will be framed and returned to the winners.
The supervising teacher for each winner will receive an official Earth Day Ottawa cloth bag.

Judging Tips

		1.	Markers are recommended over coloured pencils, as they make the artwork stand out and look better.
		2.	Simple, bold designs work best; too much fine detail doesn't work well as a screen print.
		3.	Clearly label the back of each entry with the students' name and school so we can contact the winners.

Concours Conception d'un sac en tissu

De la 1re à la 6e année

Parmi tous les dessins présentés, un sera choisi pour orner le sac officiel de Jour de la Terre Ottawa 2011. Un deuxième et un troisième prix seront aussi décernés.

Jour de la Terre Ottawa invitera les élèves d'écoles primaires (de la 1re à la 6e année) à présenter des dessins en couleur de 8 ½ po sur 11 po (21,5 cm sur 28 cm) pour le DEVANT d'un sac en tissu.
Les dessins doivent être reçus par Jour de la Terre Ottawa au plus tard le 5 avril 2011. Postez-les ou venez les porter à Elaine Gibson, 56 Robson Court, Kanata (Ontario) K2K 2W1.
Vous pouvez utiliser jusqu'à quatre couleurs, y compris le noir. Les sacs sont beiges. Les dessins doivent être faits à la main.
Les dessins seront jugés selon leur attrait, la facilité avec laquelle on peut en faire une copie d'écran et l'utilisation de symboles qui illustrent sans équivoque Jour de la Terre et la ville d'Ottawa. Le logo de Jour de la Terre Canada peut être inclus. Le nom des gagnants sera annoncé le 9 avril 2011.
Le dessin choisi sera imprimé sur les sacs en tissus qui seront distribués aux bénévoles et aux gagnants de Jour de la Terre Ottawa. Certains pourront être vendus.
Des prix seront remis aux trois gagnants, y compris un sac en tissu officiel de Jour de la Terre Ottawa sur lequel figurera le dessin de l'artiste choisi.
Les dessins choisis seront encadrés et retournés aux gagnants
L'enseignant principal de chaque gagnant recevra un sac en tissu Jour de la Terre Ottawa.

Conseils pour les juges

		1.	On recommande l'utilisation de marqueurs au lieu de crayons de couleur. Ainsi, les dessins sont beaucoup plus vifs et plus attrayants.
		2.	Un dessin simple et audacieux est plus approprié; les dessins trop détaillés s'adaptent mal à la sérigraphie.
		3.	À l'endos du dessin, indiquez clairement le nom de l'élève et son école pour que nous puissions communiquer avec tous les gagnants.
