UNION — The Trustees of the Union Fair — Wild Blueberry Festival serving Knox, Lincoln and Waldo Counties are again launching a contest to choose a design suitable for use in publicizing the 2016 Union Fair, to be held August 20-27.

Entries should reflect one or more of the themes of this traditional agricultural fair including but not exclusive to, blueberries, agriculture, fairs/carnivals, farm animals, 4-H, crafts, harness racing, etc. A single theme will probably serve the purpose of clarity. Art work should be poster size, approximately 14" x 20".

The selected poster will be awarded a prize of $500. All rights to the selected design will become the property of the Union Fair. It is hoped that the artist will be available one or more days during fair week to be recognized and to sign posters, etc.

Medium is artist's choice but must be in color. Remember that the selected design will be utilized in the production of posters and other media so colors should be strong, design bold and graphic and avoid elements that do not reproduce clearly such as shading.

Entries may be submitted at any time until March 31, and should be delivered to: Union Fair — Matthews Museum C/O George R. Gross, P.O. Box 482, Union, Maine 04862 OR may be dropped off at the Union Town Office, Common Road, Union. Attention Jay Feyler.

The Union Fair Trustees have the right to refuse or accept any or all entries.
