2012 Poster Art Contest |
presented by |
As Chairman of the 2012 festival, I am excited to offer this opportunity to recognize yet another emerging Western New York artist. On behalf of our Board of Directors, I encourage each student to participate. The winning artwork will be incorporated into the 2012 Taste marketing materials, showcasing the student's talent across the Western New York region and at the Taste. Now in its 29th year, the Taste of Buffalo presented by TOPS is Western New York's premier summer festival and this year promises to be another fantastic event.
Sincerely,
Chris Hitchcock
Chairman, Taste of Buffalo presented by TOPS
The successful Grand Prize Winner will have their artwork used in some of the 2012 Taste of Buffalo presented by TOPS official advertising materials! This is a great opportunity for students to develop a strong understanding of the bond of art within the community and how it can effect the outcome of an event. This project can be used as both a teaching tool and an opportunity for students to further develop their portfolios as they prepare for a curriculum in art and/or design.
Deadline for entries is March 18, 2012.
