my529 is sponsoring our annual Make Your Mark bookmark contest for Utah students in kindergarten through 12th grade. Eight winners will each receive a $1,000 my529 college savings scholarship account from my529 and the Utah System of Higher Education.

For 12 years, my529 has held the art contest to celebrate national College Savings Month in September and our commitment to higher education, whether in a university, college or technical school. We hope you will join us in this endeavor, using Make Your Mark to help spread the word about my529 and saving for future educational costs.
