Yearbook Cover Contest

It is time for the annual Oak Grove Yearbook cover contest. All Oak Grove students are eligible. If you would like to design the cover for the 2016 – 2017 Yearbook, please turn in your entries to Mr. Huber's mailbox in the JH office on or before Monday, May 8, 2017. We will announce the winner the following week. Pictured here is last year's winning entry by OGS student Rebecca Parker.

You may recall that starting last year, students began receiving an AUTOGRAPH BOOK instead of the actual yearbook before the end of the school year. The yearbook will not be completed until the summer so we can include graduation photos and spring sports photos. Since we will not need to submit the yearbook to the printer until June, students can have until May 8th to submit art work.

Think "Coloring Book!" Students should submit artwork that looks like it could be found in the pages of a coloring book. The winning entry will be manipulated digitally to come up with the finished product. Here's a picture that shows what Rebecca's submission looked like before it was digitized and colored.

Students should follow these rules when submitting their work:

• Entries must be on 8.5" x 11" piece of paper - do not design a cover that would cover the front and back.
• Entries must be in pencil only - NO COLOR! (that comes later)
• The artist should sign their work on the BACK, not the front
• The artist should put their first and last name and grade on the back or on a small piece of paper attached to it so we know for sure who the artist is
• No tracing other people's artwork
• No shading
