MEFA College Savings Art Competition (Visit this link)

Over $20,000 will be awarded via MEFA U.Fund College Investing Plans for winning students' entries that best depict what they want to be when they graduate college.
In addition to the student contest winners, private, public and charter schools in Massachusetts will have an opportunity to win $500, $300 and $100 gift cards for school supplies. The winning schools will be selected based upon the highest percentage of eligible students who enter from each grade level.
Massachusetts students in grades 3, 4 and 5 have until 5:00 p.m. on November 21, 2008 to submit their artwork. First, second and third place prizes will be awarded in each grade level and winners will receive $5,000, $2,000 and $1,000 respectively. The money will be deposited in the student's name into a U.Fund College Investing Plan account, the Massachusetts 529 college savings plan offered by MEFA and managed by Fidelity Investments.
"We hope parents, teachers and school administrators will take advantage of this opportunity to encourage children to embrace their future aspirations and submit artwork illustrating these dreams," said Thomas Graf, Executive Director of MEFA.
In the past four years, MEFA's College Savings Art Competition has received more than 10,000 entries and awarded over $95,000 in prizes that have been contributed to U.Fund College Investing Plan accounts. Further information about the art competition, including the official rules and eligibility
