The contest is sponsored annually by the Oregon Mayor’s Association, and participating cities from around the state of Oregon. First-place winners from the individual cities will be entered into the statewide completion for a chance to win an iPad. Ipad winners will be invited to attend the Oregon Mayor’s Association’s Annual Conference to be presented their prize. Mayor Sandy Toms congratulated the winners on behalf of the city, and each was presented with the prize and a certificate.
