Calling all Artists!

It's time to enter the poster contest!

While creating your design, please keep in mind that we are not your typical Renaissance Fair. We are looking for whimsical, colorful, and easy to read interpretations of our annual Celebration of Spring in East City Park.

The winner will receive a prize of $200 and their artwork will appear on the advertising poster and program cover for the fair.

Submission deadline is on or before February 28th

Public voting will be on Saturday, March 1, 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m., at the 1912 Center (412 E 3rd Street, Moscow, ID) during the Winter Market.
