Winning student will be recognized at the Village Board Meeting prior to the first market,
lead the Pledge of Allegiance and present their poster to the Mayor.
The winning poster will be displayed in storefronts throughout the Village Center.
As a way to kick off the market season, we would like the winning student to attend the first
market and autograph copies of the poster. We will sell the posters and donate the
money to the Deerfield Emergency Fund. If the student is unable to attend that market,
he/she should arrange to sign copies prior to the first market.
The winning poster will be framed and displayed in Village Hall. Copies will continue to be
offered for sale at the farmers market and/or Village Hall for the duration of the market
season.
With student and parent permission, the winner will be recognized in the Deerfield Review,
What’s Happening, the Village Newsletter “D-Tales”, www.deerfield.patch.com and the
Trib Local section of the Chicago Tribune.
If formatting can be accommodated, the winning poster will be promoted on the Village's
cable info channel and posted on our website.

Additional Criteria
1. The Product: Any fruit or vegetable used in an image should be an item that is
grown by Midwest farmers and found at a Midwest farmers market (i.e., no bananas,
citrus, avocados, artichokes, pineapples, etc.)
2. Seasonality: Locally grown fruit and vegetables are seasonal. For example,
strawberries, peas and asparagus are harvested in the spring; corn, peaches and
tomatoes in the summer; squash, gourds and pumpkins in the fall. Students’
understanding of this may be helpful when deciding how to create their poster.
3. Consumer/Viewer: Students should consider who will be viewing their poster.
Posters are displayed in storefront windows in downtown Deerfield. Therefore, print,
photos and/or images, and color contrast should be visible from the sidewalk and
street to pedestrians and vehicular traffic.
4. Students should also keep in mind that their posters will be on display for the
community to enjoy in Village Hall, on the Village website, cable channel and local
publications.
5. Representation of the market: We encourage students to visit the farmers market
or even a local farm (Didier Farm is located at 16678 Aptakisic Road, Prairie View,
just west of Lincolnshire) to get a sense of what the market is all about. The use of
students’ original artwork and photographs is also encouraged and even preferred
over iStock photos. The Deerfield Farmers Market also has an archive of photos
which can be made available to students if they are interested.
