March 10, 2008:  Bulletin Bag [.com] announces the first annual “NURTURE NATURE KIDS DRAWING CONTEST”   

Kids care about the environment—and they want to know how to help.  Reusable cloth shopping bags are one way to clean up the planet we call home.  Maine children in grades 3-7 are invited to submit drawings in the theme of Earth Day, climate change, recycling or anything nature related.  The winning artist will have their design printed on 1000 special Bulletin Bags, receive public recognition and win a $100 gift card! 

Teachers and youth leaders can register their youth group for the drawing contest.  The Bulletin Bag team will send out a contest kit, which includes information about the problems with disposable paper and plastic bags, entry forms, official rules and a return envelope for mailing completed forms (please allow 2 weeks to receive your Contest Kit).

Children can also download entry forms for the reusable bag drawing contest at the Bulletin Bag website, or they can pick up a form at their local Shaw’s Supermarket.

The first 1000 children who enter will be sent a free Bulletin Bag printed with the winning artwork AND be entered to win more great prizes (stay tuned for prize details!). The contest ends April 30, 2008.

Bulletin Bag [.com] is proud to be working on this project in cooperation with Representative Ted Koffman (D-Bar Harbor and Chair of Natural Resources Committee of Maine).  Representative Koffman has been instrumental in raising awareness about the problems with single-use paper & plastic bags. 

The contest is being held to raise awareness about the problems with paper and plastic bags – and study the interest and impact of a cooperative advertising campaign using reusable bags.
