All-New National Student Day Contest Opens Today
OBERLIN, OHIO, September 24, 2015 - Celebrating and rewarding college students for their hard work and supporting children's literacy are at the heart of the all-new National Student Day photo-sharing contest, which runs Sept. 24-Oct. 22. The fifth annual National Student Day contest, sponsored by the National Association of College Stores (NACS), gives students the opportunity to win a $500 prize to their campus store and support a good cause. For each contest entry received, NACS will donate $1, up to $5,000, to children's literacy advocate Reading Is Fundamental.
Reading Is Fundamental, one of the world's oldest and most respected charities dedicated to literacy, delivers free books and other literacy resources to children and families in economically disadvantaged communities in the United States.
High school and college students can enter the contest up to five times per person by simply snapping a "selfie" in their campus store and posting it to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram with the hashtag #GIVEME5NSD.
The National Student Day celebration, set for October 8, 2015, is a day set aside by campus stores across the U.S. and Canada to celebrate their students by hosting a variety of celebrations.
