We needed the logos and wanted to give aspiring artists and art students the opportunity to have their designs published. According to Mackey, the theme of the festival should be reflected in the logo design. Regional groups will perform and compete. Workshops will be held for both the Slide and Blues festivals. Artists and craftspeople will have booths indoors and outdoors throughout the Asheville High School campus.
All festivals are alcohol-free and suited for families.
The logo contest winners will have their designs featured in all festival publications and will receive credits and a link from the festival web sites to their personal or business web site. Sponsors are being sought for additional prizes. Logo design contestants must submit original camera-ready artwork or .gif or .jpg images.
