Seattle City Light is looking for students in grades 3 to 6 to participate in the 2nd Annual Shrinking Bigfoot Calendar Contest. The utility is asking kids to share their ideas on how to shrink their carbon footprints through energy conservation. Entries are due by October 11 at 4 p.m.
“Young people can make a difference for our environment and save their parents money by using electricity wisely,” Seattle City Light General Manager Jorge Carrasco said. “I’m looking forward to seeing how their art illustrates this important point and encourages others to join in.”
Twelve grand prize winners will be chosen by a group of local celebrity judges. Winners will have their artwork featured in a calendar that will be sold to benefit Project Share, City Light’s one-time emergency utility assistance program that helps people in need with their electricity bill.
Grand prize winners will also receive a special family fun prize from the Pacific Science Center and Woodland Park Zoo.
To enter, students must live in Seattle City Light’s service territory and be in grades 3-6. The entry must be original artwork by the student, no electronic entries. The entry form must be signed by a parent or guardian. Only one entry per student allowed. Complete rules, energy tips and entry forms are available on City Light’s contest page.
