SOLANO STROLL POSTER CONTEST

The Solano Avenue Stroll, a national local legacy and Berkeley and Albany's premier street festival will be held on Sunday, September 10, 2006. We are accepting submissions for artwork for the poster. We suggest you look at prior poster art on our website.

Deadline: June 10 at 5PM for electronic submissions only to: SAA@solanostroll.org

Prize: $500 for winning artwork, 5 posters, 5 T-shirts.

Details:

  1. Full color poster artwork will also be printed on T-shirts, black and white. Bold colors and designs work best, no small details that will drop off during silkscreening.
  2. Submit artwork in EPS format in TIFF 300 ppi.
  3. Theme: Send in the Clowns. These words should be incorporated into your design. We would like to emphasize all of the different kinds of clowns (not just the Ronald McDonald types) including harlequins, mimes, goth clowns, hip-hop clowns, etc.
  4. Final poster size is 18" x 24" but the bottom 9" is reserved for text so product is 18" x 15."
  5. Some posters get framed so leave a white border of at least 1".
  6. You may use a border or not, at your discretion.

If you have questions, contact us at the phone number or email below.

Have fun!
