Staff at the pier are calling all designers to be part of promoting the annual summer concert series.
The Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corp. once again invites talented student, amateur and professional designers to submit their vision for the 21st Annual Twilight Dance Series in the third annual poster contest. The winning design becomes the primary communications piece for the 10-week concert series, used in display advertising, posters, flyers, banners and more.
The prize for this year’s winning design has been increased to $750 — up from $250 in past years. In addition, the winner will receive a VIP package for the summer, including a backstage pass to the concerts.
All entries are due on April 1. This year’s winner will be chosen via a secure Internet poll on www.santamonicapier.org. Visitors to the site will only be able to vote one time, for one poster. Voting will take place throughout April and the winner will be announced at the Santa Monica Festival, scheduled for May 7 in Clover Park.
Past winners include Stephanie Donon with her work, “Dancers;” and Carrie Carmody with “Hitchcock.”
Contest rules, design specifications and entry forms are available at www.santa-monicapier.org under “What’s Happening.” Entries are due at the pier’s offices by April 1. More information is available by calling (310) 458-8901.
