The Saline Celtic Festival committee and Two Twelve Arts Center are sponsoring a poster and T-shirt art contest for this year's event, one of the country's leading Celtic heritage festivals. Artists of all ages may submit a two-dimensional piece of art for use on the festival's advertising material, including T-shirts and commemorative apparel.
The contest is open through March 6. Application and submission criteria are available online and at stores in downtown Saline.
There will be two contests, one for the 13th annual Saline Celtic Festival and one for the Masters Championship of the Highland Heavy Athletic Games.
The international event is expected to bring up to 100 competitors 40 years and older to Mill Pond Park during the festival. The submissions may reflect Saline's heritage, the sister city relationship with Brecon, Wales, and the breadth of activities that make the festival so unique.The winner will be announced at a community-wide St. Patrick's Day celebration planned for March 17 to honor the artist and kick off Celtic Festival excitement.
