Sierra Club Outings Launches Contest

The Sierra Club, the nation's oldest and
largest grassroots environmental organization,
s founded on the belief that experience in the
outdoors will inspire the public to protect
natural lands. Through its Outings program,
Sierra Club encourages the public to explore,
enjoy, and protect the planet.

The Sierra Club Group and Chapter Outings
Committee (GCOC) is sponsoring a contest to
develop a program identifier for Club outings
leaders. The program identifier is a suitable
design for patches, shirts, hats, etc. It will
provide recognition to those individuals who
volunteer their time and expertise to lead
outings, and will serve to help outings
participants identify outings leaders at
trailheads.

Sierra Club membership is not required to
submit an entry. Submissions will be judged by
an independent panel based on originality,
ontent, technical quality, and visibility.
Contest deadline is August 31, 2005. The winner
will be announced at the Sierra Summit in San
Francisco, September 811, 2005. The winning
entry will be awarded a cash prize of $500.
