Idle Free Design Contest

Calling all artists with an interest in air quality and the environment! Clean Calgary Association is hosting a design contest for a decal that will be part of an Idle Free campaign. We are seeking a creative, convincing design that will inspire Calgarians to choose to be idle free. Calgarians who chose to become idle free, thus reducing their transportation-generated carbon dioxide emissions and improving air quality, will be able to display this decal in their car, at work, in school and at home.

If you are interested in submitting a design please check out the contest rules at www.cleancalgary.org, then email your design to idlefree@cleancalgary.org

by June 4th, 2008 - Clean Air Day.

The artist with the chosen design will be rewarded with an artist profile on our web site, their name displayed on the decal, and a number of prizes:

• $50 gift certificate from Small Potatoes Urban Delivery
