Who Should Enter

Budding garden enthusiasts and students up to 18 years of age.
We’ll pull one each from two groups: (1) elementary and (2) secondary grade levels.

Submissions

• Original artwork that includes:
  • Representation of your favorite thing to eat from or enjoy in the garden (you know, things like: veggies, edible flowers, seeds, friendly pollinators, fruit trees, whole plants, garden boxes…)
  • Your rendering of the Slow Food snail (that one above and to the right)
  • #snailkids
  • A little bit (or a lot!) of the official Slow Food red or similar color
• Artwork may be illustrated by hand or rendered as graphic design and should fit into a square. (It does not need to be square, it just needs to fit into a square for printing!)
• Please submit high-resolution, scanned JPG, PNG or EPS on a white or transparent background. (If you are not sure how to do that, ask a teacher! No photos of your artwork, please.)

How to Enter (and then what?)

• You will need to include your name and information on that form, and upload your a high-resolution file of your artwork.
• Only one entry per person, please.
• A selection of one dozen pieces from each group (elementary and secondary students) will be put up to a vote. Slow Food USA will notify and announce the winner, and make tote bags with winning artwork for the Slow Food shop!

Prize 

• 1 Tote Bag with your artwork on it
• Slow Food USA will tell and share your story in a blog post and on social media, and include a link to it on all orders!
