A finalist will be picked from each school by the Club. Each finalist will be awarded a $50 prize, and each school will receive a $100 donation to the art department.

The two finalists will have their submissions posted to our Facebook page and the public can “like” the logo of their choice.

The contest entries must be submitted to the Grafton Trail Blazers snowmobile club no later than December 1, 2013. The schools will be notified by December 9 of their finalist and their logos submitted to our facebook page (GRAFTON TRAILBLAZERS) for the winner to be determined.
