Our friends at The Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) are looking for art submissions for their 2010 fair.
Each year, MOFGA hosts an artwork contest to find an illustration that captures the essence of the Common Ground Country Fair. The winner gets $1000, as well as the satisfaction of seeing her/his creation on posters and t-shirts all over Maine and beyond!
The contest is open only to Maine residents and MOFGA members (regardless of residence). If you are not yet a MOFGA member, click here to join. Welcome!
Artists may submit two entries. All entries must arrive in the MOFGA office by 4 p.m. on Friday, August 7, 2009. We generally make the final selection in August but it may take us a couple of months so be prepared to leave your submission(s) with us in the MOFGA office for a while. MOFGA will retain full rights to the winning design.
MOFGA will feature the winning design on the 2010 Fair poster, t-shirt and promotional literature. A profile of the artist will appear in this newspaper. MOFGA also sends out a press release focusing on the artist and the artwork. In addition to these promotional benefits, the winning artist receives $1,000.
