Poster Design Contest Extended

ATTENTION ARTISTS:
Based on a large number of requests from artists interested in submitting work for the Charleston Harbor Fest Poster Contest we have extended the deadline for entries to Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Application and mounted artwork must be received by 5:00 p.m. on January 6 to be considered. Please see below for more details. Thanks to all of the great entries we have received to date. If you have already submitted an entry and would like to submit an additional entry for consideration by January 6, you are invited to do so.

Charleston Harbor Fest is proud to announce the second annual official poster competition. Artists who are 18 years or older may submit original works for the design of the 2009 Charleston Harbor Fest poster. These designs will be judged by a panel representing both the maritime and art communities and should reflect Charleston's rich maritime history while also featuring attributes that reflect Charleston's modern harbor and highlights of the annual event. Artists are encouraged to capture the look and feel of Charleston Harbor Fest, with its blend of international tall ships from around the globe, classic wooden boats, education village, children's activities and celebration of all things related to the sea. The poster must incorporate the text The Tall Ships are Coming!® and the event title, Charleston Harbor Fest 2009.
