ROSWELL, GEORGIA, Apr. 19 -/E-Wire/-- In support of Earth Day and to recognize graphic design work among non-profit, pro-environmental organizations, Neenah Paper is seeking entries for its second annual "Design for the Environment Contest."

The winning designer will receive $1,000 in cash, $1,000 for a designated non-profit environmental organization, plus three cases of 8 Â½" x 11" FSC- (Forest Stewardship Council) certified ENVIRONMENTÃ Paper from Neenah Paper. Winners of the second and third place design awards will each receive a $500 cash award, $500 for their designated non-profit environmental organization, and three cases of 8 Â½" x 11" FSC-certified ENVIRONMENTÃ Paper.
