Greater Holyoke Chamber Announces Call to Artists for Design Contest

HOLYOKE — The Greater Holyoke Chamber of Commerce announced an art design contest and invites artists from the Holyoke community to participate. A $300 cash prize will be awarded for the design that best represents the city of Holyoke.

The design will be on display at the chamber’s office and used in all of the chamber’s communication and marketing programs, including print media, online media, merchandise (mugs, T-shirts), signage (posters, banners) and television.

“The chamber has been fostering a sense of community, vitalizing the business district, and advocating on behalf of Holyoke businesses and residents for 125 years,” said Kathleen Anderson, chamber President.

Members of the chamber as well as Holyoke residents are invited to vote for their favorite designs via Facebook and the chamber’s website. Contestants should submit their artwork electronically to the chamber by 5 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 29 at [email protected]. Design specifications and other contest details are posted on the chamber’s website, holyokechamber.com. The top three designs will be on display at the chamber’s St. Patrick’s Day Breakfast, and the winner will be announced on March 17.
