Pet Tag Art Contest!

The City of Cottage Grove is pleased to announce a Pet Tag Art Contest! Pet tags with ruler to show size

Instead of recycling or discarding unused pet tags the City of Cottage Grove would like to see them become art! We have over 1600 unused stainless steel pet tags that are out of date. We believe they could be used in some form of art project in: jewelry, clothing, painting, costumes or sculpture.

We're looking for Cottage Grove residents to propose ideas, and the winning entrant(s) will be given the tags to create their masterpiece! We simply ask that you allow us to exhibit your finished project at Strawberry Fest and City Hall for a couple of months, and use your name, photograph and photos of your project on our web site.

Proposals are due by March 31, 2010 and finished art projects are due June 1, 2010. Finished art projects will be displayed at our Strawberry Festival the weekend of June 18, 2010 in Kingston Park.

Stop by the Cottage Grove City Hall 7516 80th St S. to pick up an application and see a sample tag (or check out the one your pet is wearing!).

		The Use of .pdf (Adobe Acrobat) Files

		For many of the applications, minutes and maps posted on the site, we are using the .pdf document format, which requires the free Adobe Acrobat Reader software to access. Most computers already have this software installed. If you are not able to access these files, it means that you need to download and install the Adobe Acrobat Reader.
