BE BIG IN YOUR COMMUNITY CONTEST

Fifty years ago this month, Scholastic published the original CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG book by Norman Bridwell. The BIG in the 5th annual "BE BIG In Your Community Contest," is an annual contest which invites everyone to take action and raise awareness for how Clifford's BIG Ideas (Share, Help Others, Be Kind, Be Responsible, Play Fair, Be a Good Friend, Believe in Yourself, Have Respect, Work Together and Be Truthful) can make the world a better place.

This contest is open to anyone age 2-70 (minors will need parental consent). Enter now for the chance to bring your BIG Idea to life with a $5,000 community grant. Other prizes consist of 5 $1,000 first prize grants. Open to legal residents of the 50 United States and the District of Columbia. Contest ends  June 23, 2013.

I have fond memories of Clifford from when my kiddos were little-- it was such a positive and sweet cartoon. What a wonderful idea!

I just entered my Girl Scout troop in the contest. We have six girls working toward their Gold Award and are devising six different 80-hour sustainable community service projects to be completed over the next few years. This could help us out in the fundraising department. Thanks!
