Good news for young artists.

United Way of Cayuga County has opened its youth drawing contest for kids to design its Day of Caring t-shirt and logo. The winner will have their artwork featured on the Day of Caring shirts, social media, and promotions. They’ll also receive a special gift and a t-shirt of their own.

The contest is open to children ages eight and up who live or attend school in the county.

The design must promote United Way’s mission:

“To improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of our community. The United Way of Cayuga County is committed to improving lives in our community by advancing the common good and addressing the underlying causes of problems. United Way is dedicated to community involvement and focused on creating long-lasting changes that will positively affect today, tomorrow, and generations to come.”

The deadline to submit is Monday, May 19. Submission information can be found here.

Held on August 7, the Fifth Annual Day of Caring sees community members across the county give back to their communities in a variety of ways, including serving at soup kitchens, painting park benches, and volunteering at food pantries and schools.
