Next month our beloved BIG Red Dog will officially turn 50 years old!  February 14, 2013 marks the BIG day – and Clifford has been super busy getting ready for the party on Scholastic’s Official Clifford the Big Red Dog Facebook Page.

In November, Clifford hosted a BIG Cake Contest, in which bakers were asked to submit their best Clifford themed cake.  Over 1,000 votes were cast – and the winning cake featured Clifford and his best pals!  Then, in December, Clifford needed a game to get the party started – so Clifford’s BIG Red Word Scramble app was released. (If you have a minute, check it and out see if you can beat today’s high score!)

Now, with only a month away, Clifford needs help figuring out what to wear.  New this month, you can design and vote for your favorite Clifford inspired T-Shirt as part of Clifford’s BIG T-Shirt Contest. Clifford is very excited to see what designs his fans come up with.  By month’s end, voters will determine the fan favorite — and that lucky designer will receive a Clifford Prize Pack!  And remember — even if you choose not to enter the contest, come back regularly to view the gallery and vote for your favorites all month long!

Click through for all the details, including the rules, and then let your creativity go!

Looking forward to everyone’s participation in the BIG birthday! -Kelly MacLellan / Associate Marketing Manager for Scholastic Media
