2008 Gathering of Champions Logo Contest Design Chosen

The votes are in, and the logo for the 2008 Gathering of Champions has been chosen! Congratulations to Reed Bruender, age 13, from Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton (JWP) High School. Bruender’s original design will appear on promotional and event materials for the Gathering of Champions, which is held annually at the Nickelodeon Universe Amusement Area in the Mall of America. This year’s event is scheduled for August 1, 2008.

Logo design entries were accepted from August to December and all entries were posted to the Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) website for voting. Votes were received throughout December and early January. As the winner of the design contest, Bruender will receive a scholarship for his entry and will be acknowledged at the Gathering of Champions in August.

Last year more than 3,000 people attended the Gathering of Champions to celebrate academic achievement in Minnesota’s students. The Gathering of Champions is an annual statewide event honoring students who are named as Academic All-Stars by officials in participating schools. The honored students may include top academic achievers, students who have made a dramatic improvement in their academic work or achievement, and the top finishers in academic challenges and competitions at a regional or higher level endorsed by the state’s Academic League Council.

The Center for Academic Excellence (CAE) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and recognizing high levels of academic achievement for students and teachers. In addition, CAE acts as a catalyst for increasing student achievement through improved school performance and accountability. They work to foster partnerships that provide educational opportunities and trainings for their members.
