Californians Invited to Create, Vote for ‘05 State Fair PosterMonday, February 28, 2005 - 05:25 PM
For the first time ever, the California State Fair is giving Californians the opportunity to create and choose the official 2005 State Fair Poster.
The State Fair will be accepting poster submissions from Feb. 1 to March 31. Any Californian aged 5 and older is invited to send in original artwork for consideration. The panel of judges will select the finalists primarily on “theme and message” and “originality and imagination”. The winning poster will creatively highlight the 2005 State Fair theme California's Beaches and Oceans and may showcase other elements of the annual State Fair.
Poster entries must be original two-dimensional works of art, submitted on 18” X 24” white paper. Entrants should mail their poster submission, along with a completed application form and $5 entry fee, to: Poster Contest, California Exposition and State Fair, P.O. Box 15649, Sacramento, 95852. Mailed entries must be postmarked no later than March 31. Entries may also be hand carried to the Cal Expo Administration office at 1600 Exposition Boulevard in Sacramento 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays.
For more information and for official entry form and guidelines, visit the state fair Web site at www.bigfun.org or contact the poster contest coordinator at postercontest@calexpo.com or 916-263-3146.
