Annual Bookmark Contest
Now Under Way!

It’s time once again for the annual Safe and Drug-Free Youth Bookmark Contest!  Each year, FCPS – along with the Drug Enforcement Administration, Arts and Education in Concert, and Arlington-Fairfax Elks Lodge – sponsors a bookmark contest.  This year’s theme is “Making My School and Community Drug- and Bully-Free.”

If your child wishes to participate, please review the list of rules and important dates below. The contest is being coordinated through the Library and the point of contact for draft submissions/poster board/final submissions will be either Mrs. Koehler or Mrs. Cafferky. 

Important Dates

Monday, January 9th – Contest began. When students submit their draft, they will be given pre-cut poster board for their final entry.

Friday, January 20th – Last day to submit drafts to Mrs. Koehler

Friday, January 27th – Final entries due to Mrs. Koehler

Rules

- Entries must promote the theme, “Making My School and Community Drug- and Bully-Free” and convey a zero-tolerance message for violence, alcohol, and other drug use.

- All artwork must be the individual’s original, hand-done creation.  Any work that has been copied from any published source, or which includes such material, may not be submitted.  Entries must not contain computer- or electronically generated art or text.  A parent/guardian or teacher must sign the entry form indicating that the child’s work is original and in compliance with the contest rules.

- In an effort to promote a positive message, bookmarks that include alcohol, drug, or weapon paraphernalia, regardless of the context, will not be considered in the competition.

- Drawings must be vertical. Students can pick up pre-cut poster board from Mrs. Koehler in the library.

- The medium used must be limited to pen and ink, tempera paint, markers, crayons, and colored pencils.  Please bear in mind that whatever method is used, the color should be applied hard enough to allow for photographing. (Charcoal and 3-D entries are not acceptable.

- Contestants must affix a fully completed official entry form to the back of their bookmark.
