Poster competition open for Savannah Food & Wine Festival

The Savannah Food & Wine Festival is opening up the competition to design its 2015 commemorative poster, which have become collector’s items over the last two years (www.savannahfoodandwinefest.com/official-posters.html). The competition is open to any artist over 18 years of age, in any medium.

Entry finalists will be selected by the SF&WF Poster Judging Committee and will be on display at the Eat It and Like It Foodie Awards at the Mansion on Forsyth Park on May 27. There is a $500 prize for the winner and a $100 People’s Choice Award. The festival will have rights to the winning image, which may be used in advertising, collateral and merchandise in exchange for the cash prize.

The poster will be an 18-by-24-inch image, which will have a white border around the image and print 24-by-36 inches. Artwork:

▪ Should depict a food & wine element, be unique and contain recognizable Savannah representation/imagery.

▪ Should include dates of the event — Nov. 9-15 — and the website www.savannahfoodandwinefestival.com.

▪ A logo is optional.

Final artwork, ready for printing, should be submitted in a PDF format by May 22 via email to info@savannahfoodandwinefest.com, with the subject line: Poster Competition. Finalists will be contacted the week of May 25 and may be asked to make some minor adjustments to their artwork.
