Art Competition
We are inviting submissions in either digital or paper form, with the only requirement being that the design fits with our brand. We encourage submissions to incorporate our brand colors, and/or the newt from our logo, into the design.
This is a fantastic opportunity to showcase your creative talents and have your artwork seen by a wide audience. The winner will receive public recognition for their work, as well as the opportunity to see their design printed on our merchandise.
We are looking for designs that capture the essence of our brand and our values, so let your imagination run wild! Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a budding artist, we welcome all submissions.
Designs will be judged by Project Watershed staff as well as members of our community and there will be a Keeping It Living Award prize of $150 and a People’s Choice Award of $50.
Don’t miss out on this chance to have your artwork featured on our merchandise. Submit your entry today and show us what you’ve got!
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Laura at laura.stewart@projectwatershed.ca
Deadline: June 12, 2023
