Township of Lent Logo Contest Rules
Lent Township is a small, independent community nestled between Stacy and
North Branch, MN. Since the opening of the County Road 17 interchange on I35,
Lent Township has been balancing the goal of maintaining its rural character while
actively planning for the changes that come with expanding communities. A new
logo is needed to help reflect hometown values and yet project a professional
image to promote business growth within the commercial district.
The Township would like to encourage community involvement by conducting a
logo contest. The chosen logo will be used on letterhead, business cards, signs
and other items. The Township will award a $100 prize and recognition of the
winning artist for the selected entry.
