The
Downtown Lake Charles Crawfish Festival,
along with Cultural Partner Associated Louisiana Artists Gallery by the Lake, is now accepting entries for its 2014 poster contest!
All entries must be original and conceived by the artist. No copyrighted
work, in whole or part, will be accepted.
No enhanced digital images will be accepted. Only the lettering of the
poster may be digitally done. All
artwork applications must include the artist’s name, address, phone number and
email.
The entries must include the words “Original DownTown Lake Charles
Crawfish Festival 2014”, and should have images of crawfish, Lake Charles, and
SWLA themes. All media, except
photography and digital will be accepted.
Work should be no larger than 16 x 20”, unsigned, and unframed but ready
to hang by using wire and screw eyes on canvas backs, and paper sheets should
be mounted on foam core. All entries
will be judged by an experienced juried panel and the winner will receive an
award and stipend gift.
The winning poster will be unveiled at the Press Conference in early
April. All entries will also be on
display during the SWLA ArtWalk at the Gallery by the Lake for all attendees to
see. A People’s Choice Award will also be awarded. Last
year, over 5000 people attended the festival.
This year, more will return and bring new guests with them.
All ages are invited to participate. Images should represent crawfish,
Lake Charles and Southwest Louisiana themes, and/or the history of crawfish
production and industry in Louisiana over the past 200 years.
