Have you ever wanted your students to be a part of “The Last Great Race” without being there in person? This is your chance!
Along with recognition at the musher banquet by having their creations on the tables, mushers will take these pieces of artwork home with them as keepsakes from a memorable night.
Provide your students with an opportunity to be involved in a service learning project. You can’t always be somewhere ‘physically’, but what you can do is help to create an environment for this exciting event. Be with us through your students’ art and creative endeavors.
Submission Guidelines:
-
Develop a concept and create an example in the form of a sketch, written explanation, model or digital image of your classroom’s idea.
-
Remember, keep your design SIMPLE for inexpensive mailing and ease of set up at the banquet. Easy, ready to go, freestanding designs will be best. Designs that are complicated or will require multiple steps in setting up on the tables, or extra volunteer time to help set up, won’t meet the criteria for this project.
-
Centerpieces should not exceed 8″ high by 10 ” wide and should be free standing. They should be ONE piece and should not require additional set up or building from banquet volunteers.
-
Keep in mind shipping, ease of set up, size and theme.
- Final submissions need to be received in Anchorage on February 20th.
- Email an example of your planned design and the information listed below to Linda Fenton at linda.fenton@iditarod.com
