COASTAL UNCORKED ANNOUNCES 2011 EVENT POSTER COMPETITION
September 8, 2010 Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Representatives from Coastal Uncorked Food & Wine Festival today announced a poster competition for the second annual food and wine festival, which will take place May 8-15, 2011. The competition is open to artists of all ages who submit an original piece of artwork for judging by Friday, October 15. A committee of judges will select the winning poster based on its design quality, marketability and its ability to most effectively display the concept of the Coastal Uncorked Food & Wine Festival.
The winner of the competition will receive recognition as the official 2011 Coastal Uncorked poster artist. The winning image will be reproduced as the official festival poster and will be used on Coastal Uncorked merchandise. The winning artist will receive 10 complimentary posters.
"The poster competition is an essential part of the festival. Last year, unbelievable works of art were submitted," said Candace Howell, executive director of Coastal Uncorked Food & Wine Festival. "The winning poster will become the associated image of the festival, so it is very important that we chose a piece that best represents the event. We look forward to reviewing the artwork submitted and unveiling the pieces at our art release event."
The poster competition rules are as follow: artists interested in submitting an original piece of art must visually display their individual concept and interpretation of Coastal Uncorked Food & Wine Festival; original artwork submitted by the artist or the artist's representative only will be accepted and entries are limited to two per artist; all forms of art are eligible including painting, photography, sculpture, graphic design and illustration; artwork must not contain any words; the size of the original piece of art must not exceed 36 inches by 36 inches and the artist must submit the actual artwork as no slides or reproductions will be accepted; artists must submit a completed entry form with each piece of artwork submitted; artwork must be submitted ready to be hung on the wall – either in a frame or shrink-wrapped with Velcro on the back. A panel of judges will select the winning poster image based on the specifications, design quality, and marketability. The committee will have discretion to disqualify any artwork submitted with inappropriate content. All artwork must be submitted by Friday, October 15. Entries must be hand-delivered to The Brandon Agency or the Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum during normal business hours. Coastal Uncorked, Inc. will retain possession and all legal rights to the artwork selected, including all reproduction and photographic rights, with credit for the artwork being given to the artist in all accompanying materials. The judges reserve the right to limit the number of submissions to be displayed.
