Cedarburg student wins 2010 Wisconsin State Park admission sticker contest

A design featuring kids playing on a beach by Margaret Willden, a junior at Cedarburg High School, has been selected as the 2010 Wisconsin State Park admission sticker. It was selected from more than 340 entries.

The winning design will be printed on state park and forest annual vehicle admission stickers and displayed on more than 150,000 vehicles.

“We had some really excellent entries for our design contest this year, so selecting a winner was difficult,” said Dan Schuller, director of Wisconsin State Parks.

John Springer, a senior from Iowa-Grant High School took second place in the contest for his design featuring fly fishing. Sam La Barre from Cedarburg High School took third place with a design featuring snowshoeing.

The winning and honorable mention entry designs are available on the Department of Natural Resources Web site, along with past winning entries.

As winner, Willden receives an engraved plaque and a state trail pass, and will receive a 2010 annual vehicle admission sticker featuring her design when they become available this December. The design contest, sponsored by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources, is open to all high school age students attending public, private, or parochial schools in Wisconsin.

Annual stickers are $25 for a Wisconsin resident, $10 for a Wisconsin resident 65 years of age and older, and $35 for a nonresident. Residency is determined by the license plate of the vehicle.
