The Red Poppy Planning Committee is having a call for artists for the 2010 Red Poppy Festival Artwork.  A committee of local artists will select the winning art to be used for the official 2010 Red Poppy Festival poster. 

There will be 500 posters of the selected artwork produced for sale by the Visitor Information Center.  The original artwork will be raffled and the artist will receive 50% of the raffle sales.  The artist will retain all rights to the original artwork, but will give permission to the City of Georgetown to use the art in the 2010 Red Poppy Festival promotional materials (website, ads, t-shirts, rack cards, banners, etc….).

Artwork must be original and communicate/interpret the artist’s depiction of any or all of the many facets of the Red Poppy Festival. Traditional, contemporary, impressionist, abstract, photos and digital two-dimensional works of art are welcome. The final poster will be 18″w x 24″h, therefore keep these proportions in mind when creating the artwork. Artist name, phone number and e-mail address must be clearly labeled on the back of the artwork.

All entries must be submitted to the Georgetown Convention and Visitors Bureau office at 103 W. Seventh Street by October 30, 2009. Artwork will only be accepted Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.  The artist’s name, address, phone number, and e-mail address must be clearly labeled on the back of the artwork. The artist selected will be notified by November 20, 2009. For additional information, please contact Cari Miller, tourism manager for the City of Georgetown, at (512) 930-3585, or by email at cmiller@georgetowntx.org.
