Fifth Grade National Poster Contest Seeks Texas Submissions

March 7, 2013 - PRLog -- The annual Fifth Grade National Poster Contest is underway! BikeTexas encourages you and your schools to get your fifth graders' creativity flowing by making a poster about this year's theme, "Bikes Make Life Better." Each school may submit one winning poster to the Texas contest.

The winner of the Texas contest will receive a bicycle, a helmet, and a light, and go on to the national contest for a chance at a trip to Washington, DC in 2014. The 2012 National Contest winner, Isabell Gehrt from Iowa, was in D.C. this week for the National Bike Summit. We would love to see a Texan on the stage next year! The national winner's school will receive bike parking for 20 bikes and a bike/walk system called The Hub, which makes it easy to add an incentive system for cycling and walking to school.

The second place winner in the Texas contest wins a helmet and a light, and the third-place winner will receive a helmet.

All entries must be postmarked by April 1 and must include a permission slip (http://www.biketexas.org/downloads/2013_Poster_Contest_Pe...). Submit your entry to:
