As part of 2023 Ronceverte River Festival celebrations, the River Festival Committee invites people of all ages to creatively visualize a new logo and present a new slogan for use in the 2023 Ronceverte River Festival pamphlet. These are two separate contests and are open to anyone and everyone who wants to participate, regardless of age or location.
Mark Mengel, chairman of the Ronceverte River Festival Committee, said, “We hope launching these contests will get the community more involved in the festival and get them interested in participating in other ways. The River Festival is a community event, and for that we need community involvement!”
There is no featured image required in the graphic design. The design should represent the artist’s interpretation of the Ronceverte River Festival and what the creator enjoys about their memories at the festival (ex. ducks, rivers, festivals). The design must be in color. The artwork must be an original work of the creator. The artwork may be digital or hand drawn. Artists who submit scanned work digitally may be asked for their original artwork to be rescanned for a higher quality image. For artists under the age of 18, art must be submitted under the name of a parent or legal guardian of the creator.
The slogan may not contain more than 10 words, though may be less. The slogan should encompass the theme of the entire 2023 River Festival overall. For creators under the age of 18, the submission must be under the name of a parent or legal guardian of the creator.
The submission period for each contest concludes on Mar. 25 at midnight. Entries must be submitted to the Ronceverte River Festival Facebook page, via email to theronceverteriverfestival@gmail.com, or dropped off in-person at Ronceverte Baptist Church, Attn: Dreama West, 617 Main St W, Ronceverte, WV 24970. Please be sure to include the name and contact information of the creator with the submitted design. The winner for each contest will receive five tickets for the Great Rubber Ducky Race and will be announced on Apr. 1.
