CALLING ALL ARTISTS! I am in charge of narrowing down the top 5 entries for the official 2014 Spring Pecan Street Festival image/poster that will represent the entire event! This is the largest arts and crafts festival in central Texas and at least 200,000 people attend each year here in Austin, TX! What we are looking for: a combination of lots of color, movement, music, Austin, etc. You can look at the previous submissions on www.oldpecanstreetfestival.com under the "store" tab to see if this is for you...no graphics please, painted art is highly preferred! We would like an original since we are still very far out, but the submission can be something you've previously created that you find fitting for this event too! Please e-mail me your as soon as possible submissions to stefaniehill@utexas.edu. I'm looking forward to viewing your work and truly appreciate your interest! This is a big deal for any artist to get that desired publicity-- The Pecan Street Festival committee hires a professional marketing team to submit the image into a variety of different entities (online, in The Austin Chronicle, etc) The selected individual will get a free booth, 100 posters and a dozen t-shirts of their Pecan Street Festival creation. Per the contract, you will not be able to sell your Pecan Street Festival image/poster at the festival itself but you will be able to sell anything else of yours. The artist owns their image but we will be given permission to reproduce image in the future. Please submit by the end of February 2014.
