Reusable Bag Design Contest

COUNTRY Financial and 
Peachtree Road Farmers Market 
Reusable Bag Design Contest

Artistic designs will sprout in the minds of Atlanta high school students as COUNTRY Financial and Peachtree Road Farmers Market launch their first reusable bag design contest. This year’s theme is “Sprouts in the City.”

Atlanta high school students are invited to use their creativity to show what Peachtree Road Farmers Market, and this year’s theme, “Sprouts in the City” means to them. Ideas can be inspired from farming, Atlanta landmarks, images from the farmers market and everything in between.

The student with the winning design will receive a $1,000 scholarship. In addition, his or her artwork will be showcased on thousands of reusable canvas bags distributed to farmers market shoppers throughout the season. The bag contest will supplement initiatives to reduce waste and promote recycling.

Two runners-up will receive a $500 scholarship and have their designs featured at the unveiling ceremony.

The winning designs will be unveiled on opening day of Peachtree Road Farmers Market on April 6. All three finalists will be invited to attend.

Rules, instructions, and entry form are located here. Entries must be submitted to the address below by March 8 at 5 p.m.:
