The Town is seeking submissions from Collingwood-based artists, for the cover of the 2023 Mayor’s Annual Holiday Greeting card. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, November 8, 2023.
Photos of original works of art and photographs will be considered and must be submitted directly by the artist. One image will be selected and featured on the Mayor’s 2023 holiday card (printed and eCard). Acknowledgement of the artist, title, and website/social media links will appear on the reverse of the card, and be distributed to approximately 300 members of the community, dignitaries, and friends.
The Town’s Arts & Culture Policy supports inclusivity and diversity and opportunities and access to arts & culture for everyone. Submissions will also consider relevance to Collingwood, suitability for a seasonal greeting card, and creativity. In the event that no suitable submissions are received, alternate artwork may be used.
The reproduction of the image is for the sole purpose of the Mayor’s 2023 Greeting Card and there will be no financial gain from the reproduction.
