The students in the Creative Design class recently competed in a
Promotional Campaign contest for a Financial Activities Placemat
sponsored by East Cambridge Savings Bank. The contest guidelines
included layout, design, and copywriting for a double-sided financial
activities placemat for children 5-12 years old, which features
interactive games for young customers on the go and incorporates
messages to teach youth how to be better savers. Children will receive
the placemat and dry-erase makers at the banking centers and community
events. The goal of the placemat is to be both fun and informational, as
students designed games and concepts that focused on children learning
how to save money while also highlighting the "iSave" account. The
judging was based on originality and adherence to contest guidelines for
each of the financial activities placemats. The winning students' work
will be used for future events presented by East Cambridge Savings Bank.

Noah Zibello, junior, First place ($100 cash prize awarded)
