Just have students follow the directions below.

2. It must measure 2’6” X 6’, to be hung vertically.
3. It must be made from cloth and have a 2” pocket on the top for the
insertion of a dowel rod plus three button holes through this pocket for
alternative hanging methods.
4. The book title and author’s name must be on the front of the banner.
5. In order to identify the banner and assist the judges, place a 3” X

information should be included on each card:
·School – name and mailing

Name(s) of the designer (individual or group)

Judging of banners
Please review the Book
Award Banner Judging Rubric for specific details judges will be looking
for when reviewing the banners. Each banner will be judged on the authenticity
of the art as it relates to the book as well as on the artistic quality of
the banner. All artwork must be the original work of the child(ren) involved.
The banner must be a student project. Adult input should be advisory in nature
and kept to the minimum required by the age group participating.
Certificates of participation will
be available on-line to each participating school
at www.scasl.net. In addition, a ribbon for first,
second and third place in each category will be awarded
at conference and a prize of $100.00 will be awarded
to the first place winner in each category; $75.00 will be awarded to the second place winner in each category; and $50.00 will be awared to the third place winner in each category. The award checks will be sent to the school media
specialist unless otherwise requested.
A school may win only one first place
award but may receive other award levels. Schools
may only submit one banner per judging category to
the banner competition. Schools may only submit banners
in categories in which they are qualified to vote
(i.e. a k4 – 5 grade school may be participating
in PBA and CBA, and therefore may have two banners
in the competition, one at each category level).
