Hey all you artists and graphics gurus, Do you have visions of fancy floating through your mind? Want to share? Once again, the Apogaea Creative Committee is hosting a ticket and flyer design contest. Get your brilliant ideas in front of hundreds of artists and fellow burners.

We will be using ONE design for both tickets and flyers. Winner will receive ONE free ticket to Apogaea 2010.

Art Guidelines*:

• Flyer Design Size - final size 5.5" x 4.25" + .25" bleed on all 4 sides = 6" X 4.75"
• Ticket Design Size - final size 5.5" x 2" + .25" bleed on all 4 sides = 6" X 2.5"
• File Formats - tiff, eps, pdf, and high quality jpg files accepted
• Resolution - 300 dpi is ideal, but files must be at least 200 dpi
• Submissions will be judged based on concept, execution & image quality

Both tickets and flyers should use the same design. On each, you must include:

• The name of the event, "Apogaea"
• This year's theme name, "Artropolis"
• The Apogaea logo, which you can download here in EPS, JPG, and PNG formats
• The tentative date of the event, June 10th - 13th 2010

*Please note that it is very important to stay within the developing guidelines. Pulling images off of the internet is usually not a good idea because of the low quality issues and copyright violations!
