...and buttons, and inspire the rest of the visuals for the 2008 festival. Last year's protest signs started out sucking, but ended up getting close to a viral user-generated fun thing, so PUSH did one thing right last year.

Here's the announcement from the Orlando Fringe Blog:

Submissions of artwork are being accepted that will be on our 2008 Fringe poster, program cover, special limited edition T-shirts and limited edition buttons. If your art is selected, you will receive a 2008 Fringe Superpass , an invitation for you and a guest to our 2008 VIP Gala. Credit for your work will appear on the poster, program and Fringe website.

Due Date:
January, 7 2008 at 5pm

Submission Guidelines:

--Artwork of all mediums, genres and themes may be submitted.

--Please keep in mind that while we will not censor any submissions, artwork should be appropriate in nature for all audiences.

--Sponsor logos and text regarding the festival WILL also be on the merchandise along with your art. Graphic designs are welcome for submission, however, Fringe will have the final call on logo and text placement.

--All artwork MUST be sent in a basic 300 dpi jpg format to Beth Marshall at producer@orlandofringe.org

--Higher resolution will be necessary at a later date ONLY if your artwork is selected. (no discs, or actual pieces of art allowed)

--Confirmation email of receipt will be sent within one day. If you do not receive a confirmation email within that time period, please re-send or phone the Fringe office. Technology can be unfriendly at times and we want to make sure your submission is considered.

--Submissions must also include your basic information: name, email, phone number. Please include a brief bio or artist statement.

--Selection of 2008 Fringe artwork is determined by the Fringe Board of Directors. The winner will be announced by the end of January 2008.
