COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) -- South Carolina's top federal prosecutor is sponsoring a contest for school children to design a logo for upcoming gun violence prevention publications.

U.S. Attorney Bill Nettles' office is sponsoring the 8th Annual Project Sentry Logo Contest. The statewide contest gives students an opportunity to illustrate how they prevent gun violence in school by designing a logo for use on upcoming Project Sentry publications.

Any South Carolina student currently enrolled in elementary, middle or high school can enter. Winners in four grade categories receive a $100 savings bond. The overall winner receives an additional savings bond and is featured in Project Sentry publications.

The contest deadline is April 15.
