Mile High Band Association’s 2025 Jazz & Beyond Festival Committee is sponsoring an art contest for northern Nevada artists, including teachers and students.
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. Festival T-shirts this year may also feature the winning design. The entry deadline is Thursday, May 1, 2025. Participation is free.
The artwork will be judged by a 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$200. Art Contest Coordinator Alexander Cassimus said, “The artist’s work will be front and center, viewed by thousands of festival patrons.”
