Whatcom County students have until Feb. 19 to design the next reusable bags for Haggen Food & Pharmacy.
The supermarket is sponsoring a contest for all students in kindergarten through 12th grade.
Entries will be accepted in elementary, middle school and high school categories. They must include artwork or photography.
The first-prize winners' designs will be featured on three new reusable bags, which will be sold in Haggen stores.
Contest entries may be submitted at Haggen stores in Whatcom County or via Haggen's Facebook page.
They will be judged on originality and creativity, prominence of "Northwest Fresh" or prominence of "Bellingham Goes Green."
Entry deadline is Feb. 19.
Voting will occur Feb. 8 through Feb. 22 on Facebook via a tab for each category.
