The Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corp. has chosen 12 entries as finalists in the competition to determine the design for the 20th annual Twilight Dance Series, the pier’s free summer concert series. The designs have been distributed to Santa Monica’s 58,000 postal customers via SeaScape, the city’s informational publication.

“I love Santa Monica,” said Carrie Carmody, a professional designer who entered this year. “I entered because I wanted to contribute something to the community.”

Many of the finalists are students in Santa Monica High School’s digital design course. The contest was open to designers of all levels.

Full-size images of the 12 entries can be viewed at www.santamonicapier.org. The winning design will be announced this spring and become the cornerstone of the pier’s marketing and advertising campaign for the series. The winner receives $250 and the privilege of having their work viewed by an estimated 1 million people next summer.
