“For our inaugural Macon Fest event, we’re calling on local WNC artists to submit their unique design concepts for our festival posters. Through an online voting process, the top three designs will be selected and printed as the official event posters. The sales of these posters will ultimately determine the ranking of the designs, with the top-selling poster taking first place, followed by second and third.”
“As part of their prize, the three top-ranked posters chosen by online voters will be granted exhibition space to showcase their artwork, and will also receive prominent billing as the official festival poster designers.”
The top three winners will be decided based on event poster sales. The prizes are as follows:
The champion will receive a cash award of $250 and 25 posters. The runner-up will take home $100 and 15 posters, while the third-place winner will be awarded $25 and 10 posters.
