The remaining t-shirts will be distributed throughout the crowd. A t-shirt will be given to the Channel 7 commentator as we approach the judges’ stand.
This parade airs to millions of people and tens of thousands of people attend.

The winning piece will also be on 500 booklets with the title, “Ten Things Your Friends May Not Know About Drugs”, and will be given to the Channel 7 commentator along with the t-shirt.

In addition, the event will be filmed and your piece will be sent to two organizations in Washington, D.C. who are appointed to oversee the Los Angeles activities for the Martin Luther King Day celebration for 2011. Also, an international press release will be sent out through Narconon International about you and your piece.

Your message through graffiti art is very important to the future of our youth!
You are listened too and your art admired!
