PORT ANGELES — Artists, graphic designers and other creative types are invited to partake in the Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts’ annual poster contest.
The 19th annual Juan de Fuca Festival, to take place in and around downtown Port Angeles on Memorial Day weekend, May 25-28, is a convergence of music, dance and other visual arts.
A poster reflecting the festival — and its Olympic Peninsula surroundings — is needed by early spring, so contest entrants must send their submissions by Friday, March 2. Fine art, photography and graphic art are all acceptable elements.
The creator of the chosen artwork will receive $200 and a pair of four-day Juan de Fuca Festival passes, while his or her poster will be distributed across the Pacific Northwest.
The contest rules:
■ Finished posters must be scaled to 11 inches wide by 14 inches tall.
■ Poster text must include “2012” and “Juan de Fuca Festival” or “19th annual Juan de Fuca Festival.”
■ Digital submissions should be in PDF or jpg format, 300 dpi resolution, no larger than 5 megabytes and uncompressed.
■ Original artwork must not be submitted, though an 11-by-14-inch photograph, scanned file or print is acceptable.
Entries should be emailed to festival executive director Dan Maguire at danmaguire@jffa.org or sent to Juan de Fuca Festival of the Arts, 101 W. Front St., Ste. 101, Port Angeles, WA 98362.
Entrants are asked to include their names, titles of entries, regular mailing addresses and phone numbers or email addresses.
