Balloon & Wine Fest announces poster contest

Artists are encouraged to enter the poster design contest for the Temecula Valley Balloon & Wine Festival scheduled for June 5-7.

To be accepted, the original artwork must be created in a 2-D medium of oils, watercolor, pastels, mixed media, acrylic, photography and/or colored pencil. (No reproductions or mechanical manipulation.)

Artists must be 18 years of age or older.

Samples of previous winners can be viewed at the festival office.

Subject matter should include the key components of the festival.

All entries must be 18”x24” in size. They do not need to be framed but should be ready for viewing with a support heavy enough to hold the artwork upright in a professional manner.

The deadline is Dec. 12. For a prospectus, call (951) 676-4713 or visit the festival office at 27498 Enterprise Circle West, Unit 1, in Temecula.
