Norman High Students Win Shop in Norman Contest

By: The Transcript Staff

Two Norman High School seniors have received first prize for a marketing campaign they designed for the Norman Chamber of Commerce Shop in Norman program.

Colin Barnett and Devon Harr were presented $500 for their work during a Monday meeting of the chamber’s Board of Directors.

Barnett and Harr created graphics and slogan, “Your roads, your schools, your money,” for the annual tax holiday sale scheduled for August.

Early last month, students at Norman High School and Moore Norman Technology Center were challenged to devise a campaign to emphasize the importance of shopping in Norman. The contest was conducted by the chamber Retail Trade and Business and Education Committees. Work submitted by 10 student groups was judged by a panel of chamber members.

The shop in Norman campaign is sponsored by Sooner Mall, Campus Corner Market, Republic Bank & Trust, The Norman Transcript, the City of Norman and First America Bank.
