Glacier Park art contest for kids

Elementary and high school students in Northwest Montana are encouraged to submit artwork for a postcard contest sponsored by Glacier National Park and the Glacier Association.

Winning artwork for grades 1-8 will be printed on postcards which will be given to the visiting public at Glacier Association bookstores. The winning entry in the high school category will be used on the 2013 Glacier National Park annual park pass.

The contest will be divided into grades 1-2, 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12. First-place winners will receive a $25 Glacier Association gift certificate; second-place is good for a $15 gift certificate. Winners will be announced by Nov. 18.

All entries must contain original artwork and relate to the theme "Glacier- The Next 100 Years." Entries must be postmarked by Oct. 31. For more information, visit online at www.nps.gov/glac and click on "For Kids" or call 888-5756.
