*Lincoln250 Logo Contest: Marking Lincoln’s Role in the Events of April 1775*
April 2025 will mark the 250th Anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord. As included in Donald Hafner’s “The Tales of The Battle Road April 19, 1775” (available at Something Special for $5), "When the alarm went out on April 19th, the militia and minute men of Lincoln were the first to arrive in Concord, to aid in defense of American Liberty.” The recognition of the events along the Battle Road and in the state of Massachusetts will be the starting point for a year-long series of national events which will culminate in the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in July 2026. The Lincoln250 Planning Committee, along with community partners and town committees, is planning multiple historical, educational, and cultural activities and events that celebrate the stories of the many people who contributed to the formation of our nation. As we kick off our planning, one of our first tasks is to develop a logo that will act as the official emblem of the “Lincoln250” celebration. This logo will be used on the materials associated with the town events that are organized to mark the 250th anniversary. We might even use the logo on a celebratory t-shirt! *Submission parameters*: Proposed logo should be submitted as a color rendering of approximately 8” X 10” to allow for easy duplication. The logo should be simple and a clearly identifiable image. It would be wonderful to read a brief description of the idea behind the proposed logo if you are willing to share. *Where to send submissions:* The Lincoln250 Planning Committee will be reviewing the submittals and making the decision on the final logo. We ask that all submissions be emailed to Kim Bodnar at [email protected] <https://webmail.lincolntown.org/owa/redir.aspx?C=bjiYV8ADaqv4o17zwYw2FWlLpSjrjhqVzaBUqOxZz_GPpkcuoGfbCA..&URL=mailto%3akbodnarselect%40lincolntown.org> by *July 4, 2023*. *Submission Understanding:* Submission constitutes the individual’s agreement to allow the use of the logo and also acknowledges that graphic renderings of the logo may be used for publicity purposes. It is also understood that no additional payment, monetary or otherwise, will be given. Thank you! Lincoln 250th Planning Committee
