Take part in Arlington Heights police's coloring contest
The Arlington Heights Police Department has launched its first National "Knight" Out Coloring Contest, which is co-sponsored by the Arlington Heights Park District and the Arlington Heights Police Department.
Entrants submit their very own coloring rendition of Nat the Knight for a chance to win prizes. Grand prize winner of each age category will receive $25 in gift certificates. Additional gift certificates will be awarded for second, third, and fourth place. The age categories are: Pre K-grade one; grades two-four; and grades five-six. Submission deadline in Tuesday, July 25.
The winners will be selected based upon creativity and originality. Children may use crayons, watercolor, pen and ink, markers, etc. to complete the drawing. Submissions will be judged by Arlington Heights Police Department Community Services Bureau personnel prior to National Night Out 2017.
Winners will be announced at National Night Out during Opening Ceremonies (attendance not required, but encouraged).
