to help a family in need!

DESIGN TIPS...

  • Many entries have a specific theme! What is going to make yours stand out?

  • The container that holds the items does not have to be a “basket”. We’ve seen it all— laundry baskets, coolers, wagons, decorative boxes, inflatable pools, etc. The container should be something that is able to be donated to the charitable organization.

  • Please consider using cellophane to wrap your entry if it contains valuables.

  • Visit www.salineshows.com to view photos from previous years to see what the contest is all about!

  • Feel free to include items such as non-perishable foods, gift cards, books, toiletries, toys, board

    games and clothing.

  • Do not include: perishable food items, tobacco, and alcohol

  • We encourage you to label your entry with its creator's names. People are more apt to vote if they know

    the individual or group that made it!

  • Keep the contest categories in mind: PreK-6th Grade Group, 7th-12th Grade Group, Individual 17 &

    Under, Individual 18 & Over, Profit Group/Business, Family/Church/Non-Profit Group (6 total
    categories)
