We are looking for talented students, residents, past residents, art enthusiasts and hobbyists to help us to create a logo for the event. The logo will be used on all marketing materials and publications, commemorative items, to name a few. If your logo is chosen, your name will be etched in history through your work. See all of the details of entry below.
