Photographers invited to submit art for downtown banner contest | Entertainment

OSCODA — Artists have until July 31 to submit their photograph. Entrants need not be Oscoda/AuSable or Michigan residents but are asked to reflect what inspires them about Oscoda or AuSable.

Photographs must be original work; artists are permitted to enhance them using digital techniques.

Entries will be judged by a select committee.

The Winner will receive a cash prize of $250 and have their work displayed on an 8’x8’ banner in downtown Oscoda.

To enter the contest, artists should visit the Oscoda Art Walk Facebook Page, facebook.com/OscodaArtWalk, the Oscoda Art Walk website, oscodatownshipeic.com/art-walk, or call the Oscoda – AuSable Chamber of Commerce at 739-7322.
