2026 Rules and Guidelines

1. Artists must submit a printed entry, either freehand or computer-generated.
   • Make your print 11” x 17”. This will be the actual size of the poster.
   • The winning artist will be required to submit a high-resolution CMYK PDF or EPS file of the final artwork on a thumb drive for printing and production.
2. Artwork must reflect the Moscow Renaissance Fair theme of “A Celebration of Spring.” We are not a time period faire. For questions about the theme, email mrf_pr@moscowrenfair.org.
3. The words “53rd Annual Moscow Renaissance Fair”, “May 2nd & 3rd, 2026” and “East City Park” must appear prominently on the artwork.
4. The following text must be included and be legible: “Featuring children’s events, great food, a parade, costume contests, and the finest craftspeople and musicians” and “Free Admission.”
5. The following words must appear in smaller but legible lettering along any edge: www.moscowrenfair.org
6. Do not sign your artwork. The winning artist will have an opportunity to sign the posters after printing.
7. This contest is held in good faith and every attempt is made at keeping it a fair contest. Entries may not be promoted publicly (including social media or mass email) prior to the contest. The Moscow Renaissance Fair reserves the right to disqualify any entry that violates this rule.
8. Artists are responsible for retrieving their artwork after the contest.
9. Artists of non-winning entries are encouraged to re-submit their work next year.
10. Attach the signed 2026 Entry Form to the back of your artwork.
