ART in the PARK FESTIVAL
logo contest

Allied Arts Associations Art in the Park Festival is seeking artwork/graphic designs to use in promotional materials for the upcoming 2024 festival, which will be held July 26th and 27th (Friday & Saturday) at Howard Amon Park in Richland, WA.

If chosen, you will see your artwork or graphics on the social media, websites, posters, T-shirts, buttons, fliers, etc. and in print advertisement!

The theme for next year’s festival is "COLOUR ME VIBE".

The logo should reflect the essence of the theme, and include our festival name "Art in the Park Festival" and a sun. Artwork will be judged on design quality, color, originality, ease of use on multiple graphic forms (T-shirts, posters, advertising), and how well it embodies the theme.

We are absolute crap at designing a festival logo - Will you please help us?
