Gobble Wobble 2009 T-Shirt Design Competition Winners

It’s official! The winners of the 3rd Annual Gobble Wobble T-shirt design contest have been selected. This year 8 out of 18 schools participated with a total of 490 entries!

The community voted on their favorite designs from Oct. 1st through Oct. 31st on MyGVR.org. The top 10 finalists from K-5 and the top 10 finalists from 6-12 grades were set aside to be voted on by the Green Valley Ranch Citizen Advisory Board (GVRCAB). The GVRCAB Community Events Committee met on November 4th to select the winners. The committee considered the number of votes received by the community, how well the theme was depicted and how the design would look on a T-shirt. The finalists were viewed and voted on by each board member. The entries with the most votes became our winner!

The winning student from the ECE-5 will receive a $50 gift certificate and the student’s school will receive $200 for its art program from the Green Valley Ranch Foundation and their drawing will be placed in the next edition of the GVR Voice, the Far Northeast Reporter and in the race day program. The winner is Araceli Palacios a 4th grader from Florida Pitt Waller. Congratulations Araceli!
