We are calling all leprechauns and would be leprechauns to throw their gold into the pot and send us their designs. The grand prize is $500.00 the winner to be announced on December 7, 2009.
You will find the contest rules below and may the luck of the Irish be with you.
In an effort to seek out the most imaginative logo for the First Ever Seventh Annual World’s Shortest St. Patrick’s Day Parade, the Hot Springs Convention and Visitors Bureau has opened a logo contest.
The call is out to all creative people to capture the ideals and spirit of our unique parade and present them in a symbol for use on all of our promotional materials for the 2010 event. Get your imaginative juices stirring, encourage friends and artists to enter as well. Rules are attached and will be posted on the CVB’s website (www.hotsprings.org).
The winning logo will be announced at the Hot Springs Convention Center on Monday, December 7, 2009. The artist will be awarded a $500 cash prize, plus other “fabulous stuff” which will be decided upon at a later date (we just don't know what they are quite yet). Check back to the CVB webpage for updates and encourage friends and colleagues to submit their own entries for updating our image.
