The Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing’s “Drawn to Vermont” contest gives Vermont students in grades K-12 the opportunity to draw a picture that represents their favorite summer place or summer activity in Vermont. The top three winning illustrations will be published in the summer issue of Vermont Life, an award-winning quarterly magazine published by the State of Vermont. “The ‘Drawn to Vermont’ contest is a fun way to help local students learn about the importance of promoting Vermont’s tourism industry,” said Vermont Tourism and Marketing Deputy Commissioner Steve Cook. “Students can illustrate what they love about summer in Vermont and have a chance to show their creativity to thousands of Vermont Life readers.”
Entries will be in three grade categories, K-4, 5-8, and 9-12, and all participants will be entered into a drawing for a free two-night stay at Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes. One winning entry from each grade category will be selected to become a Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing advertisement in Vermont Life magazine. One first place illustration will be published as a full-page advertisement on the back cover of Vermont Life magazine, and two illustrations chosen for second place will be published as quarter-page color advertisements inside the magazine.

All entries must be received by March 5.
