FALL 2024/Spring 2025 POSTER CONTEST
CALL FOR ENTRIES
IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!! The BAA is calling out to all Brewery community members to create an iconic poster design for not just this Fall’s Artwalk but also next Spring’s 2025 Artwalk. Everyone will vote for 2 posters.
This is a great opportunity to display your creative talent and show support for the Brewery Artwalk! Last time we received a lot of community participation and this time we are hoping for even more entries. Your image could become the next iconic poster design in this new tradition of Brewery Artwalk history. We look forward to seeing what you create!
Here’s How it Works
Entries will be posted online and voted on exclusively by the Brewery community. The 2 images with the most votes will be the winners of this coming Fall and next Spring’s Artwalk. The winning designs will be printed as a collectible art poster and a fine art print. Both will be available in the I-5 Gallery gift shop and the Brewery Artwalk website with all proceeds going to the BAA’s operating fund.
The winning designs may be included in press releases, social media, and other PR material in association with promoting the Brewery Artwalk. The winning design will not be used to create the postcard art.
Prize
The winners will receive:
- 20 posters and 5 fine art prints to sell, keep, or gift as they see fit.
