Downers Grove, Ill.; Aug. 31, 2009 — Third– through sixth–grade
students living in DeKalb, DuPage, Kane and Kendall Counties can encourage everyone to
Do Your Part — Be Water Smart by participating in the 16th annual
poster contest sponsored by the Plumbing and Mechanical Contractors Authority of Northern
Illinois (PAMCANI). “We chose this theme to focus on
water conservation in action,”
said S.J. Peters, executive director of PAMCANI. “Encouraging our youth and their
families to be active participants in this area is a step toward
working together to confront major
environmental issues,” he added.
Entries may be rendered in any art medium on 8.5x11- or 11x17-inch paper (no poster board
or cardboard) and will become the property of PAMCANI. They will be judged for originality,
design and theme topic. Each student is allowed only one entry. Winners will be
announced by Nov. 13, 2009.
$500 Bond Grand Prize
The Grand Prize, which will be selected from among all entries, is a $500 U.S. Savings
Bond plus a $2,000 CDW (Computer Discount Warehouse) gift certificate for the winning
student’s school.
Prizes For Each Grade Level, Winners’ Schools
Prizes will be awarded for first through third place in each grade level; the winning
students will receive U.S. Savings Bonds of $200, $150 and $100, respectively. Honorable
Mention awards of $75 U.S. Savings Bonds will be made at the judges’ discretion. In addition,
