DOWNTOWN PORT ORCHARD

ART ON A CUP

The Port Orchard Bay Street Association is introducing a new event – Art On A Cup – designed to be fun and get your creative energies engaged for the New Year.

Pick up a white paper cup from one of the participating merchants in downtown Port Orchard. You are free to decorate it in any manner you wish and then take it and the registration form you will find inside to the Port Orchard Market on Bay Street. It will be on display through February 26, when judging will occur. A panel of judges will award a prize in each age group or category and then there is also the People’s Choice – so the sooner you get your artwork entered, the more votes you will receive. Don’t hesitate to get your family and friends to go downtown to vote for your art piece.

Contest is open to all ages. Categories are: Youth 5-12 yrs., Teen 13-18, Adult, and Professional Artist

Create artwork on a 16 oz. cup. It must be a cup provided by the event organizers.

Cups may be picked up as supplies last from January 21 to February 20 at the following locations: Leanna’s Art and Coffee, Coffee Oasis, Carter’s Chocolates, Dude’s Donuts, and Sidney Museum and Art Gallery.

Use any medium you like to create your artwork. It can be flat or 3-dimensional on any part of the cup.

Entries must be appropriate for a community, family event.

All entrants agree to allow use of their name(s) and photos for promotional purposes. Entrants under 18 must have parent or guardian signature below.

All entries must be released/left for display at the Port Orchard Market until after judging. They can be collected by contestants starting Monday, March 1 and must be collected by Friday March 5

Entries must completely dry and fixed at the time of submission.

Once your submission and entry form have been received, an entry tag with a number and first name will be placed alongside your submitted cup.

Winners for each category will be determined by a committee appointed by the Port Orchard Bay Street Association Judges decisions are final.
