All day event
Monticello Main Street and the Monticello Area Arts Council are hosting a poster contest to advertise the 2016 Farmer's Market. Artists of all ages residing in Piatt County are encouraged to share their artistic talents. The winning poster will be used to promote the market in print, on the MMS website and through social media. The artist will receive a cash reward of $100 and will have their poster submitted to the National Farmer's Market Coalition! Artwork can be submitted from May 1 through May 20. The winner will be announced on May 27.We are asking for two submissions from each artist as two posters will be printed. A large 18”x24” poster will be printed with only the name of the market and graphic. Smaller advertising posters sized 11”x17” will also be printed containing more detailed information including dates, location, and sponsors. The same graphic must be used on each poster, however, a different layout or orientation may be used for each one.
