HandsOn Network and Scholastic are now accepting applications. Enter the "Be Big in Your Community" contest to see your little idea turned into a BIG Idea! Clifford is looking for individuals and/or community groups doing great things to help their communities.

The BE BIG! campaign is designed to communicate that small, simple actions can make a BIG difference. The campaign invites everyone, big and small, to take action and raise awareness for how Clifford The Big Red Dog's BIG IDEAS (Share, Play Fair, Have Respect, Work Together, Be Responsible, Be Truthful, Be Kind, Believe in Yourself, Be a Good Friend, Help Others) can make the world a better place.

We welcome volunteers, schools or community partners to enter for a chance to win $75,000 in community grants to see their BIG Idea implemented!

Scholastic's "Be Big in Your Community" contest will continue accepting entries until June 30, 2010.  Make sure you submit your own BIG Idea!

30 finalists will be selected by a multi-tiered judging process:

• One entry will be honored with a $25,000 community grant
• 10 entries will be honored with a $2,500 community grant
• 11 entries will be honored with a $1,000-$1,500 community grant*

All projects will be executed with the help of Scholastic, HandsOn Network Action Centers and BE BIG’s corporate sponsor, American Family Insurance!
