» (Aug 01 2008) - Step Up Youth Summit T-Shirt Art Contest
Do you know a Tulare County student who has artistic abilities?
The planning committee for the Step Up Youth Summit invites young people to
submit a color logo design and an appropriate event slogan for the conference,
scheduled for Thursday, November 20, at the Visalia Convention Center. The logo
and slogan will be used primarily on the summit's T-shirt, which will be given
to all attendees.
Any Tulare County student may submit a design and slogan.
Students are encouraged to develop a slogan relating to the purpose of the
event, which is to "connect, educate, equip and inspire" Tulare County young
people to live violence- and drug-free lifestyles, pursue educational
achievement, and connect to their community. In addition to the T-shirts, the
logo may also be used on the Youth Summit's programs and posters.
The winning artist will receive special recognition at the conference.
Students are encouraged to propose designs which cover any area of the front of
the shirt, including the sides and the sleeves. The back of the shirt will be
reserved for the Tulare County Step Up logo. For students submitting electronic
artwork, the image must be a minimum of 8.5" x 11" and 300 dpi. Hand-drawn
artwork will also be accepted if submitted on 8.5" x 11" or larger paper.

Approximately 1,000 students in grades 9-12 from every public and private high
school in Tulare County are expected to attend the Step Up Youth Summit. The
event, which will be held from 8:00 a.m. until 2:10 p.m., is being planned with
input from Tulare County youth to include motivational entertainment, reports
on the six Tulare County service learning grant projects awarded last month,
and presenters on college, career and personal skills development.

County Gang Prevention Task Force - a regional coalition made up of the general
