Past Button Winners
Each year since 1992, children in Bristol have entered the Button Contest. The winner is chosen by a panel from the Souvenir Committee, presented a $100 savings bond, and is given the opportunity to march in the parade The button is the Official Button of the Fourth of July Celebration.
In 2009, the Souvenir Committee voted to divide into three categories: K-5, 6-8, and 9-12. The winner of each category will receive $50.00. The one overall winner will be chosen from the three category winners and will receive an additional $75.00. All category winners will be invited to participate in the Fourth of July parade.
