In conjunction with the unveiling of
EDMC’s BYOBag (Bring Your Own Bag) McHenry County logo and county initiative,
this year’s theme centers around bags.
Create an original piece of decorative
or functional art re-using old plastic bags. Tape and glue should be kept
to a minimum. Surface decoration is encouraged.
The two age categories are for
students and for adults 18 and over.
Each piece must be accompanied by a 3X5 card
containing this information:
- Artist’s name
- Contact telephone and address
- Age if artist is a student; otherwise the word “Adult”
- Name of piece
- Description of piece
Judging will be based on the use of recyclable items
with respect to
- Aesthetics
- Creativity
- Utility
A small prize and certificate will be
awarded, and winners will be featured on the Defenders’ website and in the
quarterly newsletter.
Artwork must be submitted by Thursday,
July 24, 2014 to the Environmental Defenders office, 110 South Johnson Street,
Suite 106 , Woodstock , IL and must be picked up from the office by August 11th.
Winning pieces will be designated with
ribbons and winners notified by the start of the fair.
