5th Grade Yearbook Cover Design

Contest Rules & Guidelines

 

  1. Eligibility:
  • Open to all 5th Grade students. 
  • One entry per student.
  1. Deadline:
  • Entries must be submitted to Mrs. Ruffennach by Friday, November 8th, 2024.  Please note that late entries won't be considered.
  1. Qualifications:
  • Must incorporate our school theme: "Color My World."  
  • Must be drawn on 8 ½ by 11 inch paper. 
  • Paper must be oriented vertically (portrait) and not horizontally (landscape) to fit on front cover.
  • Must be original artwork of the student.
  1. Artistic Guidelines:
  • Your design should include the words "Color My World" 
  • Use color contrast in your artwork (a bright color next to a dark color).
  • Thick black outlines print the best.
  • Markers are recommended for the design, but you may use crayons and/or colored pencils to fill in background space. 
  • Advice for your design: LESS IS MORE!  A simple and well-planned drawing will print better than a design that is full of too many things.
  • Do not put your name in your design. When submitting your design, write your name in pencil on the back of your artwork.
  • Consider selecting a color/shading for the background of your design. Otherwise, your artwork may appear to be incomplete.
  1. Judging and Winning Design Announcement:
  • Top designs will be selected by a PFA committee. The BWE staff will then vote for their favorite in a blind survey. 
  • Criteria for the top designs will be based on originality, creativity, and support of this year’s theme. The designs will also have to reproduce well as a book cover.
  • The winning design will be announced prior to Winter Break.
