Children put pencils to paper and put their imaginations to work again this summer to participate in the MacKenzie Park T-Shirt Design Contest sponsored by ASTM International. The children are part of a summer park program located near ASTM International Headquarters in West Conshohocken, Pa.

This year’s winners were announced on August 10 at MacKenzie Park. First and second place winners in the following categories were: (3- to 7-year-olds) Bryanna Phillips, Brett Leflar; (8-  to 10-year-olds) Amanda Phillips, Christina Walski; and (11 and up) Chris Ryan, Michele Hodges.

ASTM provided T-shirts of three separate winning designs to children who attended the West Conshohocken Summer Park Program. In addition to the contest, ASTM International sponsored trips for the program participants to the Franklin Institute and the Academy of Natural Sciences.

ASTM International has sponsored the MacKenzie Park T-Shirt Design Contest and trips for  park program participants for over five years. In addition to this year’s trips, other destinations have included Riverbend Environmental Education Center, the Norristown Zoo, the Philadelphia Zoo, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Please Touch Museum and Longwood Gardens.
