Historic Biltmore Village is currently accepting submissions for brochure cover art. The winning artist’s work will be featured on 60,000 brochures a year. The prize package also includes $250 cash, one night stay at the DoubleTree Biltmore Hilton Hotel, and gift certificates from local businesses.
Press release from contest organizers:
Calling All Artists: Historic Biltmore Village is looking for a new cover design for our brochure. The winning design will be used on the cover of our next brochure along with our Facebook and twitter pages. Credit and a brief bio of the winning artist will also be included.
Historic Biltmore Village prints 60,000 brochures a year and is distributed throughout Western NC. This opportunity will allow the winning artist to have their painting seen by locals and tourists alike.
The painting needs to be a reflection of Historic Biltmore Village and the HBV logo will be added to the winning painting prior to brochure printing.
Rules for the contest are:
1. Paintings must be created in physical media (no digital “paintings”) (i.e. Oil, watercolor, pastel, acrylic, etc. Note – we have nothing against digital mediums – but we don’t want to judge them against physical paintings.)2. Paintings sizes are not important. You may upload whatever image size you are comfortable sharing. (We suggest a minimum of 600-1000 pixels on the longest side so the judge has enough resolution to discern details) jpeg format only please.
3. Your painting must be your own original concept and not a copy of anyone else’s copyrighted material.
4. ALL entries (not just winners) will be displayed on the Historic Biltmore Village website. Each entry becomes part of the public, historical online contest catalog and will not be removed at a later date.
