Design a Green Bag Contest

By Karina | May 12, 2008

We don’t have any Kroger’s grocery stores up here in the north, so I didn’t hear about this design-a-bag competition until recently. but have y’all? It is such a clever idea!

This is how it works: you have to register on-line at their webpage, but if you are a Kroger’s shopper and have a Shopper’s Card once you design and submit your bag you’ll get a free bag credit onto your account so for designing a bag? you get a free reusable bag automatically! How clever!

Kroger is committed to being a responsible steward of the environment and to offering alternatives to our customers who hope to do the same. If you’re ready to help us celebrate green, design a reusable shopping bag. You could win a $500 Kroger gift certificate and see your design come to life.

The top 10 designs will be featured on the new Kroger.com, and every Shopper’s Card holder who enters the contest will get a free Kroger reusable shopping bag.

You can create a design and post it on our website for votes, or just vote for your favorite bag. Be sure to send your design to your friends so they can vote for you.

So far over 30,000 bags have been submitted! Now, here’s a good idea - let’s harness the power of Team Tiny Choices - y’all go design bags and post links to your designs in the comments. We can all vote for each other and hopefully a Tiny Chooser will make it to the top 10! We’ve only got until 5/23, so go ahead, hurry!

Do you live near a Kroger’s? What do you think about their commitment to environmental stewardship: is it obvious in their stores?

I confess, I only did it to get the free bag. :) Hence the super-simple design.

I think the kroger bag design contest is lots of fun, and a bit addictive. I designed four bags.
