Homecoming Book Sale art contest – WIN MONEY!

Posted on by

The library is having an art contest! The Homecoming book sale is coming up and we need some creative students to put their talents to work to design the promotional material for the library’s biggest event of the year.  If you win, your original work will be the poster and postcard image for this year’s sale.  Additionally, the winner will receive 2.5% of the book sale proceeds! Last year, that was about $50, but thanks to your eye-popping image, we expect this year’s sale to be bigger and better!

Entries must be two-dimensional, no larger than 11” x 17”, submitted in a sealed envelope (with contact info and a brief bio) to Jeff Harbin by Friday, September 25, 2009. The library staff will add text regarding the book sale to your image.

If you have any questions please contact Jeff Harbin, Public Services Librarian, at jeharbin@milligan.edu or 423-461-8495.  We are excited to see and display your artwork!
