Arts Festival Accepting Applications for Banner Competition

The Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts has issued the call for entries for one of its signature events: the annual banner competition

Individuals and groups may submit entries, which typically hang between 15 and 20 feet over the street. Identical or different designs must be visible from both sides of the banner. All components of the banner design and construction must be securely attached, or the banner will not be displayed. Banners with religious, partisan or commercial messages will not be accepted. The Arts Festival encourages local non-profit organizations to create banners celebrating their organization.

A banner jury will award prizes in three categories: professional, general and youth. Jurors will be announced at a later date.

Banners entered in the competition must be delivered to the office of the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts by 5 p.m. on June 23.

Submission guidelines and a banner entry form are available at arts-festival.com/banners.

The 57th Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts will take place from July 12 through July 16 in downtown State College and on the Penn State campus .
