Run Seal Beach™ is looking for the next “Van Gogh” of our community. The 2015 Kid’s 1K Fun Run Shirt Design contest is in full swing. Remember that this is a particularly special year, as it is Seal Beach’s Centennial. This lends itself quite nicely to the actual theme for the t-shirt contest: “Happy Birthday Seal Beach!”
“The winning design will be featured on our Kid’s Run shirts and the winner will lead off the run on race day, Saturday, March 21, 2015—it is truly a magical moment for them and for all of those kids who see the design on their shirts,” said Michelle Samuelson, the chair for the Kids Fun Run.
All entries are due by Jan. 10. Winners will be announced by the end of January 2015. Any current student who attends elementary school in the Los Alamitos Unified School District or Seal Beach home schooled (Kindergarteners to age 10 by Dec. 1, 2014) is eligible to participate.
Who wins the contest? According to the organizing committee and leadership, the following are all important criteria:
• Artwork must be submitted on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of white paper
• Artwork must include up to 4 total colors
• Artwork must include the likeness of the Kids 1K Mascot “Sammy the Seal” (shown on submission form)
• Artwork must include theme “Happy Birthday Seal Beach”
In addition, the organizing committee will review each submission and how it effectively incorporates the theme into the overall look.
Kings Bike Shop, Alternative Surf and Harbour Surfboards have donated prizes for first, second and third place.
