As part of the 50 State Quarters Program of the U.S. mint, the eagle emblem on the back of the standard coin would be replaced with a design representing Arkansas. The coin will be in circulation by the summer of 2003. The competition is open to all citizens of the state. Artistic talent is not a prerequisite for submitting an entry.
Participants can either submit an artistic rendering or a written description of a design.
Entry blanks are available at the Information Desk in Fausett Hall. The contest deadline is March 31, 2001. Submissions returned to the Information Desk by March 28 will be mailed as a group by the College.
