Colorado Dragon Boat Festival Announces First-Ever 2008 Commemorative Poster Design Contest

Coloradoans can flaunt their artistic flare with the Colorado Dragon Boat Festival's (CDBF) first-ever 2008 Commemorative Festival Poster design competition. The winning poster will be featured as part of the annual festival, which will be held July 26 -27, 2008, at Sloan's Lake Park in northwest Denver.

Celebrating its 8th year, the CDBF is a free family-friendly festival highlighting Colorado's rich Asian Pacific American heritage. The two day celebration showcases an array of traditional and contemporary performing arts, cultural customs, cuisine and a marketplace of unique and hard-to-find arts, crafts and vendors. This year, the CDBF will host the 2008 American Dragon Boat Association Regional Races, bringing national and international dragon boat teams together to compete in division races on both days.

The winner of the CDBF poster design competition will be honored as the first-ever commemorative poster artist, and will see this design used for various collectible merchandise applications including home décor framed prints, festival t-shirts and marketing materials.

The submission deadline is Monday, March 31, 2008 and winners will be announced Thursday, May 1, 2008. Three winners will receive cash awards. The first place winner will receive $500, second place $300 and third place $200.
