Big Y Celebrates 90 Years with Student Art Contest

SPRINGFIELD — As part of its year-long 90th anniversary celebration, Big Y announced a student art contest, providing an opportunity for students in the local market area to showcase their creativity and express themselves through original works of art.

Participants are encouraged to bring their imagination to life by creating artwork that showcases “What Big Y Means to You.” The contest will award prizes to students in three grade brackets: K-4, 5-8, and 9-12, along with a donation to the school the student is registered as attending.

Now through March 2, art submissions can be brought to an Big Y location. Winning entries will earn a gift card, recognition, and support for their schools. For complete contest details, submission guidelines, and deadlines, visit www.bigy.com.
