The board members of Mt. Pleasant Arts IMPACT, a new art advocacy council for the Mt. Pleasant community, announces a logo contest with the winner being awarded a $100 cash prize.

The board is calling on residents 18 and older to access their visual creativity and help this new group launch their presence in the community with an eye catching and visually exciting design. The design should include the word IMPACT, along with the subtitle ?Impacting Mt. Pleasant Arts and Culture Together.?

The contest will run from March 7 through March 21, with a winner being announced on or before April 1.

Pleasant Public Library and the Iowa Wesleyan University student life office.

After 30 plus years as an elementary art teacher in Mt.
