The Santa Monica Pier Restoration Corporation is once again seeking talented student, amateur and professional designers to create a poster for the 24th Annual Twilight Dance Series this summer.
The winning design becomes the primary communications piece for the 10-week concert series, used in display advertising, posters, flyers, banners and more.
The artist who creates the winning design will receive $750 and their design becomes a collector’s item and keepsake from the 24-year-old series. In addition, the winner will receive a VIP package for the summer including a backstage pass to the concerts. All designs will be on display in the Santa Monica Pier Carousel from March 20 through April 10 to recognize the hard work of all the entrants. 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 mid-March and early April.
All entries are due on March 7. Contest rules, design specifications and entry forms are available at www.santamonicapier.org. A gallery of past posters is available for viewing at www.twilightdance.org.
The concert series kicks off in June. Past performers include: Patti Smith, Pancho Sanchez, Suzanne Vega/Marc Cohn, and Arrested Development.
