Call for Entries: Annual Commemorative Poster

	(COLUMBIA, MO) - The city’s Office of Cultural Affairs (OCA)
is accepting entries for its annual commemorative poster. Artists
residing in the state of Missouri are eligible to apply. An award of
$1,000 will be presented to the artist for the right to reproduce
artwork for the poster.
	The postmark deadline for applications is April 9. Applications
are available on the OCA’s page of the city’s Web site at
www.GoColumbiaMo.com/Arts/ (select the “Artist Opportunity: 2010
Commemorative Poster” link to access guidelines and the application
form). To receive a hard copy of the application, contact the OCA.
	Work in all media will be considered. Artists may submit up to
10 images of existing or newly created artwork for consideration. Works
should communicate the vitality and beauty of mid-Missouri and the
significance of the arts.
	The OCA has produced a commemorative poster each year since
1992. The poster is unveiled annually at a get-together of arts
enthusiasts in August, and is available for purchase year-round at the
OCA, 1 S. Seventh Street, and at both Deck the Walls locations in
Columbia. Images of previous posters and a listing of past artists is
available on the OCA’s page of the city’s Web site (see the link for
the “Commemorative Poster Gallery”). 
	Columbia’s commemorative poster is a program of the city’s
Office of Cultural Affairs, and is produced with financial assistance
from the Missouri Arts Council, a state agency.
