Publisher announces winners of 2018
Valentine’s Day Coloring Contest
Creativity, compassion on
display across 623 total entries
Bill Jones, Managing Editor
Proving once again to be one of the most
popular annual contests run by 22nd Century
Media, the 2018 Valentine’s Day Coloring
Contest saw 623 total entries across three
age groups and seven towns.
And while a lucky nine have been chosen
(see accompanying images and awards) as
winners, the gigantic collection of entries
was to be delivered to area veterans with
the help of a local organization. With that
in mind, 22nd Century Media would like to
thank everyone who took the time to enter
and spread the love this Valentine’s Day.
As for the contest, this year we picked first,
second and third in each of the age groups.
Winners were chosen based on creativity and
neatness.
All three of the 9- to 12-year-old winners
are to receive two hours of free bowling
for up to six people, including shoe rentals,
along with a pizza and pitcher of pop, at
Laraway Lanes, 1009 W. Laraway Road in
New Lenox. The three 6- to 8-year-old winners
will get a multi-use pass for the Splash
Park run by the Mokena Community Park
District. And the 3- to 5-year-old winning
entrants will take home a $5 gift certificate
to Dairy Queen, 950 E. 9th St. in Lockport.
Publisher 22nd Century Media also would
like to thank the contest’s generous sponsors.
