Showcase how your Fair uses posters to promote its magic, memories, and must-see moments! This contest highlights the creativity and strategy behind poster designs used to market Fair events across the state.
Entries will be judged in two distinct categories:
Artistic – A visual and creative representation of the Fair. The design may highlight a special event or unique aspect, but that’s not required. The focus is on the overall artistic impression.
Informational – A poster that clearly communicates key Fair details such as dates, times, ticket info, special events, pricing, and more. The emphasis here is on clarity and effective communication.
All posters must be submitted as physical entries and brought to the convention for display.
Entry Form coming soon!
