We received dozens of decorated Penny Bags from a diverse group of Penny Harvest schools within all five boroughs. The ingenuity and creativity depicted on the submitted Penny Bags were impressive.

The Penny Bag Decorating 09/10 contest selection committee – including members of the NYC Civic Corps and the Common Cents senior staff – scored the Penny Bags on the basis of the demonstrated originality, effectiveness and communication of the design, as well as taking into account an artist’s age. The 3 categories of distinction are Aritist Merit, Spirit of the Penny Harvest and Representation of Issues. Download the Judging Rubric used to select this year’s winners here.

Congratulations to our Penny Bag Decorating 09/10 Contest winners!
