Poster & Video Contest
CHARACTER COUNTS! invites students to participate in the 2022 Poster and Video Contest.
Over the years, CHARACTER COUNTS! celebrates and reminds us of our power to do good. CHARACTER COUNTS! will continue partnering with the local Hero Hustle Run that annually recognizes heroes.
Submission deadline is Friday, December 16, 2022.
Poster Contest
This year’s theme is STEP UP FOR YOUR COMMUNITY. What pillars of character do you see in your community? What are others doing to strengthen our community?
Entries will be reviewed by judges and a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner will be chosen in each of the two grade categories K-2nd grade and 3rd-4th grade. Monetary prize awards are generously sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Glenview-Northbrook. Prize awards will be presented to the winners at the February 7, 2023 Village of Glenview Board of Trustees meeting. Artwork may also be featured on next year’s Glenview Sunrise Rotary Hero Hustle shirt!
