Logo contest announced for Delaware Wine & Beer Festival

Kent County Tourism is hosting a logo contest for the purpose of adopting a new festival logo to be used for future Delaware Wine & Beer Festivals. The deadline to enter is Wednesday, Sept. 12, and the winning logo will be announced at this year's festival, Sunday, Oct. 21.

The contest winner will be awarded $250 cash and four tickets to both the 2012 and 2013 Delaware Wine & Beer Festivals, for a total value of $450. Judges will select the winning entry, and the Delaware Wine & Beer Festival Committee will make the final decision. The festival committee also reserves the right not to select a winning logo if no entries are deemed suitable.

No more than three designs can be submitted per person, and the winning entry will be the sole property of Kent County Tourism and the Delaware Wine & Beer Festival to be used in any manner. Participants must be at least 18 years of age to enter, and there is no entry fee.

Contest rules require that the entry logos must meet the following requirements:  be distinct, unique and representative of the event; be clear and identifiable at small sizes (e.g. 4x4); be aesthetically able to fit in with a broad range of site/application designs; provide a clear silhouette that can be rendered in multiple colors, black and white and gray tones; and be submitted in JPG, GIF or PNG formats.  Contestants should be prepared to provide high resolution/vector graphic versions of their work.
