The Washington Parish Fair Association invites Washington Parish artists to participate in the 2024 Fair Poster Contest.
Entry deadline is Thursday, August 15, 2024.
Rules for poster entry are as follows:
● Entrants must be Washington Parish residents (or native college students) and at least 18 years old.
● The design should be 16 by 20 inches and not exceed 18 by 24 inches (portrait/vertical) on mat board, illustration board, canvas or heavy paper. Format is up to the artist.
● The poster design may contain “Washington Parish Fair 2024”, or the printer can add appropriate lettering digitally. Include a small sketch to indicate letter design and placement.
● The design may pertain to the Fair in general or to a specific part of the Fair. It must be non-commercial (not used for any other purposes such as T-shirts, cups, etc). If an identifiable person is used, a letter of release to all publication rights and royalties must accompany the design.
● The theme for this year’s fair is “Small Town, Big Fair!”. The poster may follow or include the theme but is not required.
● Individuals may enter more than one design. Previous entries may be considered.
● Each entrant must sign a release of rights and royalties of publication. Entries will be released back to the artist after the 2024 Fair concludes.
Poster designs can be entered from now until August 15, 2024 at Hancock Whitney in Franklinton or Bogalusa during regular business hours. Contact Poster Chairman Jaimee Jenkins at 985-839-9821 or wpffposters@gmail.com for more information.
