Kroger is encouraging customers to design a reusable shopping bag for the second consecutive year through its online competition – Design a Reusable Shopping Bag Contest. The winner of the contest will receive a $1,000 Kroger gift card and a chance to see their bag design sold in stores. Four finalists will be awarded $250 Kroger gift cards and five runners-up will receive $100 Kroger gift cards.

Through May 15, customers can create their designs and vote on their favorite entries online at www.kroger.com/green. Anyone who designs a bag through Kroger’s Design a Reusable Shopping Bag Contest and has a valid shopper card will receive an electronic coupon loaded directly to their card for a free reusable bag ($0.99 value), where valid. Kroger has also partnered with CafePress so that designers can purchase a reusable bag featuring their design.

Kroger’s colorful reusable bags have become a household staple with multiple uses. Every reusable bag has the potential to save 1,000 plastic bags over its lifetime.
