Design A Father’s Day Card, Win $500

Griffin Hospital’s Health Initiative for Men (HiM) is holding a Valley-wide Father’s Day art contest to design the front of its 2013 Father’s Day Card.

The contest is open to Ansonia, Derby, Oxford, Seymour, and Shelton students from elementary school to 12th grade. Entries will be split into an Elementary School Division (up to 6th grade) and a Middle School/High School Division (7th-12th grade).

Winners will receive US savings bonds and their art will be featured on Father’s Day cards distributed throughout the Valley.

Design entries should include the depiction of the love between a father and child/children, and a Father’s Day wish encouraging fathers to be aware of/take charge of their own health.

Division winners from each Valley town will receive $500 savings bonds and second-place winners will be awarded $250 saving bonds. The Valley Arts Council will select the overall winners in each division and the grand prize of a $1,000 savings bond will be awarded to the winners.

Applications are available at each Valley public school.

Submissions must be sent to the high school art department where the contestant lives by Tuesday, April 30.
