The artist with the winning strawberry-themed design will receive $2,000 and VIP tickets to the Festival.
VENTURA, Calif. - Californer -- Friday, January 12, 2024 is the deadline to enter and submit artwork for the 38th Annual California Strawberry Festival (https://castrawberryfestival.org/) Artwork Contest. The artist with the winning strawberry-themed design will receive $2,000 and VIP tickets to the Festival, which takes place May 18-19, 2024 at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.
This is the first Artwork Contest since 2020 when the pandemic resulted in the cancellation of that year's Festival. "Kimberly Duran's winning artwork from 2020 was adopted as the theme for the 2023 Festival," shared California Strawberry Festival Board President Dean Kato. "We're excited to bring back this popular contest after four years--it's something the community really enjoys."
Entries will be evaluated by a judging panel looking for creativity and the best use of a strawberry design. The winning design may be used in printed and digital advertising collateral as well as on souvenir merchandise. Artists should keep in mind that judges may give preference to artwork that will print well on promotional items like t-shirts.
