Palisades Mask Design Contest!

By VANESSA MASTERSON Junior Reporter

Photos due by May 15 Email photos to [email protected]

Hey there Palisades! I was thinking, because we are social distancing and always wearing masks, people must have amazing mask designs! I have seen so many cute and creative masks on Pinterest and TikTok, so we are having a Pal- isadian-Post Mask Design Contest! There are five age categories: 0-3 years old, 4-8 years old, 9-12 years old, 13-15 years old and adult. Send in a photo of yourself in a decorated mask to [email protected] by May 15 to participate. Please include your age category and contact information for prizes! Winners will be featured in an upcoming issue of the Palisadian-Post—with one grand- prize winner receiving some Post swag. We can’t wait to see your fabulous masks!!!

Best of Luck! From Vany!
