We had a HUGE number of spooktacular entries for the 2010 design contest (winning design will be featured on a 2010 ChicoBag reusable trick-or-treat bag).

It was extremely difficult to choose the winner (best capturing “the spirit” of Green Halloween), but here are the top three:

First place: Design by 13-year-old Gracie Gralike

Second place: Design by Patrice Narasimhan

Third place: Design by (the 2008/9 winning designer) Estefania Vargas

Thank you SO MUCH to all of the parents, teachers and kids who took part in and/or supported the contest! We look forward to seeing what you come up with for next year’s competition.

The winner and two runners up for the 2010 Green Halloween/ChicoBag trick-or-treat bag design contest were just announced on ChicoBag’s facebook page!

Winning designs will soon be posted on ChicoBag’s website and Green Halloween’s website, so please stay tuned.

Congratulations to the children who created the selected designs and a high five to all who entered. There were so many incredible submissions this year! If your design was not selected, fear not – our 2011 contest will be underway in a few months.

Parents and teachers, thank you so much for your participation and support. We hope that taking part in this contest sparked some conversations about being healthy and eco-wise – even during holidays. If you would like more ideas, please see our action kits for parents and teachers, which can be adapted for almost any holiday or celebration.
