Design the 2012 Lights On Afterschool Poster!

This year’s Lights On Afterschool poster contest is now officially underway!  Afterschool program participants are encouraged to submit artwork that celebrates afterschool programs and conveys the importance of keeping the lights on afterschool.   The winning poster design will be printed on 70,000 posters sent to Lights On Afterschool celebrations across the country, not to mention that the winning artist will be featured on our website, blog and Afterschool Storybook. 

The deadline for submissions is May 1, 2012.  Click here for contest details and submission guidelines.  Keep in mind that the winning artwork will be scanned become a digital image, so avoid using textures or raised materials.  We love bright colors that jump off the poster, so materials that won’t smear or rub off—like markers, paint and pens—often work better than crayons, watercolors or chalk (or why not try your hand at some digital art?).

We’re already excited about the 13^th annual Lights On Afterschool on Oct. 18, 2012, and can’t wait to see what our afterschool artists come up with to help us celebrate!
