Kansans taking pictures of themselves can take part in a photo contest during Kansas Literacy Week, September 1-7.
Everyone can participate — families, libraries, daycares, public, private, home schools, college students — but you have to be a Kansas resident.
People are asked to take photos of themselves engaged in literacy, using the theme for that day.
Names will be drawn at the end of the week for each day, and each winner will get $100 of books.
The contest will take place Tuesday, September 3 through Friday, September 6. People wanting to participate are to take pictures portraying the theme of each day:
- Tuesday, Sept. 3 - Book Buddy Day - Read with a buddy.
- Wednesday, Sept. 4 - Read My Shirt Day - Wear a shirt with words or pictures.
- Thursday, Sept. 5 - Cozy Up with a Good Book - Wear pajamas and read a favorite book.
- Friday, Sept. 6 - Fun in the Sun - Grab your shades, beach blankets, chairs and umbrellas and head outside to read under the sun.
Photos need to tag @KMLCESU within Facebook to be submitted into the contest.
The photo contest and Kansas Literacy Week is sponsored by the Kansas Masonic Literacy Center which is housed in The Teachers College at Emporia State University. KMLC can be contacted through www.emporia.edu/literacy/.
As this is a photo contest, photos entered may be subject to use for further promotion of KMLC.
