CultureFest 305 Poster Contest

HistoryMiami Museum 2018 CultureFest 305 Poster Contest

HistoryMiami Museum is calling all creatives to participate in the CultureFest 305 Poster Contest. We’re looking for the design that will represent and promote our upcoming CultureFest 305, a traditional arts and culture festival that celebrates what makes Miami, Miami. You’ll have the chance to win $1,000 and have your artwork featured in the promotion of our event!

 

Eligibility

The contest is open to residents of Broward, Miami-Dade, Monroe, and Palm Beach counties. Entrants must be 18 years or older, or active high school students with valid student I.D.

Theme

CultureFest 305 is a celebration of what makes Miami, Miami. A festival that brings together a diverse array of musicians, artists, craftsmen, cooks, and vendors for a day of performances, demonstrations, hands-on activities, food tastings, and more.

The CultureFest 305 poster design should be festive and attempt to answer the question, “What Makes Miami, Miami?” The design should express Miami’s diverse communities and the variety of art forms that Miamians use to express their culture—such as art, music, dance, handmade objects, cooking, and costumes.

Featured traditions in the festival include but are not limited to:

  • Puerto Rican folk music
  • Reggae
  • West African drum and dance
