It's here, the much-anticipated contest to replace our previous Midsouth logo! SCBWI's new branding guidelines allow for chapters to create and incorporate a "regional graphic" with the new SCBWI logo. This graphic will be used extensively in branding for our region and will be seen everywhere, from our website, to our newsletters, to outbound communications and promotional displays.
