Enter the 2006 Pier 1/Weekly Reader UNICEF Greeting Card Contest
Begining March 1, children in the U.S. age 13 and under are invited to enter the 2006 Pier 1/Weekly Reader UNICEF Greeting Card Contest. This year's contest theme is "Holiday Happiness."
2006 marks 21 years of partnership between Pier 1 and UNICEF. Pier 1 began selling UNICEF greeting cards in 1985. The greeting card contest was launched in 1992 as a way to help raise awareness among U.S. school children about UNICEF's important work around the world. In 2004, Weekly Reader, a leader in educational publishing, became a contest sponsor, encouraging their 11 million readers to participate in the greeting card contest as well.
Two winners will be chosen from thousands of entries and their winning artwork will be reproduced as official UNICEF greeting cards sold to benefit children around the world. One hundred percent of proceeds from all UNICEF cards sold in Pier 1 stores nationwide are donated to UNICEF.
