Spirit of Wyoming: 4th Annual Jackson Hole Still Works Vodka Label Design Contest

The theme for this contest is "Wyoming." Artists must reside in Wyoming or Teton County, Idaho, and must be over 21 years old at the time of submission. The entry fee is $25.

Submit a digital portfolio of 7-10 representative works dated 2015 or later. The piece you are submitting for the contest must be 12" x 12" square, original, ready to hang, and 2D. Accepted mediums include watercolor, oil, pastel, pencil, acrylic, collage, and multimedia. Original artwork only; no prints or editions. Artwork cannot contain trademark symbols, words, flags, military or governmental insignia. Indicate in the file name which image you would like considered for the bottle (e.g., JURY.jpg).

Eight finalists will be selected by jury and their works displayed at the Voting Party on June 7, 2018 at Jackson Hole Still Works. Finalists must attend this event. The grand prize winner will be selected by popular vote. Finalists' framed original artwork is due by 5:00 PM on June 4 at the Art Association. The grand prize winner receives $2,000 and a six-bottle case of vodka featuring their art. The winning artwork will be reproduced on Jackson Hole Still Works Vodka bottle labels for one year, with the artist's name, title, and website included. Jackson Hole Still Works will acquire the piece and donate it to the Art Association for a raffle drawing on September 9, 2018. The top 8 finalists receive complimentary tickets to the Voting Party and a bottle of vodka. Runner-up works may be offered for sale at a 70/30 split, with 30% benefiting the Art Association. Unsold artwork must be picked up by 5:00 PM on June 30 or will be shipped at the artist's expense.

The jury will evaluate submissions based on artistic excellence and workmanship, appropriateness of theme, appropriateness for use on a label and ability to be reduced to 3.5" x 3.5", and appearance through a vodka bottle. Consider how the printed label image will project through the bottle and the importance of contrast. Minimal cropping may occur. No significant changes may be made to artwork following digital submission.
