ArtBeat on Main Street Invites Artists to Enter Vista Strawberry Festival Poster Contest

 ArtBeat on Main Street invites artists to submit their original poster designs for the 2014 Vista Strawberry Festival. The submission deadline is May 17, 2013. Entries will be highlighted and winners announced at a festive May 25, 2013 celebration – complete with fresh strawberries, of course! – at the Gallery, which is located at 330 Main Street in downtown Vista.

 The theme of the artwork should reflect the flavor and spirit of the Festival. Entrants need not reside in Vista. Complete contest guidelines are at http://www.artbeatonmainstreet.com/assets/strawberry_festival_prospectus.pdf.

 The annual Vista Strawberry Festival is presented by the Vista Chamber of Commerce [www.VistaChamber.org] and sponsored by ArtBeat and several other local businesses and organizations. This year’s event takes place on May 26, 2013.   The winning design will become the iconic image for the 2014 Festival. It will be displayed on posters and featured in related publicity. The first-place entrant will receive $250. Cash prizes also will be awarded to second-place, third-place and people’s choice winners.
