Mile High Band Association’s 2019 Jazz and Beyond Festival Committee is sponsoring an art contest for Carson-Tahoe area artists. Selected entries in the competition may be used to promote the festival, and the winning entry will be featured on the festival’s advertising poster and program cover.

A T-shirt may also feature one of the designs submitted.

The entry deadline is May 15th, 2019.

The artwork will be judged by the Jazz & Beyond committee. The winner of the competition will receive a certificate of appreciation from the Jazz & Beyond-Carson City Music Festival and a cash award of $100. Cyndy Brenneman, art project chair, said, “The artist’s work will also be front and center, viewed by thousands of festival patrons.”

Entries must be 11”x14” and may be in any two dimensional medium (photography, digital collage and photography, watercolor, acrylic, oil, etc.). All entries must be matted, backed, and submitted in a protective sleeve.

Each submission must include the entry form and a digital image of the artwork as an email attachment to info@jazzcarsoncity.com, or on a CD or thumb drive. It may also be submitted by Drop Box to info@jazzcarsoncity.com

Artists are to drop off their entries at the Nevada Artists Association Gallery, 449 West King Street, Carson City, NV, by May 15. Gallery hours are 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Tuesday through Sunday.
