The Ventura Friends of the Library are sponsoring a poster contest for the City of Ventura’s 150th Anniversary Celebration, April 2, 2016. The contest is open to all youths who live or go to school in the city of Ventura ages 6 to 18. Each child who enters a valid submission will receive a Ventura Friends of the Library Bookmark and have their work displayed at the 2016 Ventura County Fair.
The winning posters will artistically and colorfully illustrate the city of Ventura and promote the city’s 150th anniversary. They may represent any period in the city’s history.
Entrants must submit original, two-dimensional works of art created by themselves. Entries may not include lettering, clip art, copyrighted material or any registered trademark or logo. Do not include the city name, logo or lettering in the original artwork as it will be inserted in production.
