Design an “artsy” poster, win money, and see your work all over the region!

Deadline: Postmarked March 15, 2010

Grand Prize: A cash award of $500

Fall for the Book is hosting a poster contest to celebrate the 2010
festival. The grand prize-winning poster will be a cornerstone of the
upcoming festival’s annual marketing campaign. The festival, now in its
twelfth year, is one of the oldest, largest, and best of its type in the
country. The 2009 festival attracted about 14,000 attendees to more than
30 venues in 12 different localities in the DC metro region. Past
festivals have featured authors and performers for all ages, including
Chinua Achebe, Sherman Alexie, Michael Cunningham, E.L. Doctorow, Khaled
Hosseini, Sue Miller, Pat Conroy, Joyce Carol Oates, and Tim O’Brien.

Now, the festival planners seek a full-color poster that celebrates the
interaction between readers and writers, and calls people’s attention to
the festival’s September dates. The poster will be printed in the spring
and distributed throughout the capital region. Entries will be judged by
the festival staff. Entries should appear in the same form as the final
artwork; electronic files will be necessary for reproduction of the
winning poster.
