UNICEF Offers Kids a Chance to Win a $5,000 Scholarship

I received an email from UNICEF today regarding a contest they are currently running for creative kids under the age of 14. It's an annual contest where children submit a greeting card design. The winning design is turned into an official UNICEF greeting card, sold exclusively at Pier 1 Imports stores across the country during the holiday season. See the 2008 winning picture on the right.

One hundred percent of the proceeds from the cards sold at Pier 1 go to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF to help in its mission to decrease the number of preventable childhood deaths from 25,000 each day to zero.

The winner receives a grand prize $5,000 scholarship, and $500 worth of art supplies for their school. This year's theme is "Joy to the World". Click this link for more information on the Pier 1 Imports/UNICEF greeting card contest

Be sure to download an entry form soon, because the contest ends March 6th.
