Spokane Fall Folk Festival is Calling for Artwork
The Festival is seeking graphic designs for use in their promotional material and on items for sale, such as programs, posters, T-shirts, buttons and other advertising for the upcoming 2019 Fall Folk Festival to be held on November 9 and 10 at Spokane Community College.
The design should reflect the spirit of the Festival, "24 Years of Celebrating Our Cultural Diversity". Elements of Spokane’s diversity, history and landmarks may be included in the design, but are not required. Artwork will be judged on design quality, color, originality and ease of use on multiple graphic forms.
The purpose of the contest is to select a single graphic design for use online, in print, on T-shirts and on buttons. Flexibility is important; the design must have the ability to resize easily and look good in black and white as well as in color. The design must be suitable for high quality printing.
Entrants must take care to ensure that their entries are not in any way similar to existing copyrighted images.
The Fall Folk Festival is sponsoring the contest and it is open to all. The winner will receive $150 and be acknowledged on the posters and in the program for their contribution. The selected design will become the property of the Spokane Folklore Society and elements of the design may be used independently for the different applications indicated above.
