2024 Union Fair Poster Submitted photo

UNION — The Trustees of the Union Fair — Maine’s Wild Blueberry Festival are holding their annual contest to choose a design suitable for use in publicizing this year’s fair in July.

Entries should reflect the themes of this traditional agricultural fair, which must include blueberries, agriculture, fairs/carnivals, farm animals, 4-H and crafts. Posters should reflect the aspects of a traditional agricultural fair as well as the wild blueberry festival. Art work should be poster size, approximately 14 x 20 inches, and should not include lettering or dates.

Contest entries will be accepted from the public, except for individuals and family members of the Union Fair Trustees and Officers.

It is hoped that the artist will be available to attend one or more days during fair week to be recognized and to sign posters.

Medium is the artist’s choice but must be in color. The selected design will be utilized in the production of posters and other media, so colors must be strong, and the design bold and graphic, avoiding elements like shading that do not reproduce clearly.
