The Wheaton Arts Parade is seeking county residents for a poster design contest.
The winning entry will receive a $500 commission and have the design featured on T-shirts and other promotional materials during the Sept. 29 Wheaton Arts Parade and Festival. The winner can choice a Montgomery County school to receive $100 for art supplies.
Submissions are due April 14. They can be entered online here or emailed to info@wheatonartsparade.org with the subject line “Poster Contest.”
The original designs should celebrate Wheaton’s diverse cultures and communicate the fun-filled spirited of the parade and art festival.
The artwork must be submitted digitally in vector format and be 8.5-inches by 11-inches and saved as a 300 dpi to size JPEG, PNG or vector PDY format. All designs are limited to five colors, including black and white.
