Nassau County Is Calling All Young Artists

County Executive Suozzi and the Department of Public Works Announce
the County’s Storm Water Logo and Slogan Contest

Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi and the Nassau County Department of Public Works are looking for artists to design a logo and slogan for the County’s Storm Water Management Program. The logo and slogan will be used by the County on the Program’s educational materials, which will help educate residents about the negative impact storm water runoff can have on the various streams, ponds and bays in and around the our local communities.

The contest is open to Nassau County children ages 5-13. All submissions must be the entrant’s original artwork. No copies or tracings are permitted and the logo should be suitable for many formats and a slogan must be included. All contest submissions must be postmarked by June 30, 2007.

Winners will be announced in conjunction with International Coastal Cleanup Day on September 15, 2007 and will be awarded a photo opportunity with County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi and recognition at a County Legislative session.
