Did you know Pearl Market will move to the Ohio Statehouse grounds next summer? Don’t worry, it’s just while the Rhodes State Office Tower gets a little face lift.
So, Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District (SID) thought a little contest might help get people ready for the move. They want a new design for each side of the 2018 Pearl Market shopping bag.
One side of the bag should feature Ohio farms or produce. The other should call out the Ohio Statehouse–Pearl Market’s temporary home. Artists may enter artwork for one or both sides of the bag.
Artists must submit artwork to [email protected] no later than Nov. 24, 2017. Artwork must be submitted in a vector art file, which has dimensions of 11″h x 12″w.
Two winners will be chosen (one for artwork for the front, and one for the back). Each winner will receive $100 gift card, thanks to the Credit Union of Ohio and Heartland Bank. Capital Crossroads will also give each winner a $50 gift certificate to Pearl Market.
Guidelines & Judging Criteria:
Appropriate Content: Content should be appropriate for public use and should be unique and interesting to a wide audience of Pearl Market users.
Pearl Market Brand: The designs should reflect the Pearl Market, local farm products sold at the market and its move to the statehouse.
Overall Design: The layouts should communicate clearly the move to the Ohio Statehouse grounds or promote local farming or Ohio produce.
Judging: The artwork will be judged by the Pearl Market Manager, a Pearl Market farmer and representatives from the Credit Union of Ohio, Heartland Bank, the Franklin County Farm Bureau, and the Ohio Arts Council and/or GCAC.
General Conditions
Authorize Rights to Capital Crossroads and Pearl Market: By submitting your artwork, you grant Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District the right to use and display your design for marketing purposes.
Capital Crossroads SID Reserves the Sole Right to Determine Eligibility: Each entry will go through an approval process to determine if the artwork meets our criteria before the entry will be available for judging in its category.
Contest Entry Guidelines: All work must be released for individual usage. All entries must contain copyright-free art or art released for entrant’s and public use. No unauthorized use of any copyright images, text, or other material will be accepted.
Labor has always been an issue, mainly because we are a seasonal operation. So that's a challenge finding somebody who only wants to work three months out of a year, sometimes up to six months.
I appreciate the benefit of having a strong voice in my corner. The extras that are included in membership are wonderful, but I'm a member because of the positive impact to my local and state agricultural communities.
I see the value and need to be engaged in the community I live in, to be a part of the decision-making process and to volunteer with organizations that help make our community better.
Farm Bureau involvement has taught me how to grow my professional and leadership experience outside of the workforce and how to do that in a community-centric way.
With not growing up on a farm, I’d say I was a late bloomer to agriculture. I feel so fortunate that I found the agriculture industry. There are so many opportunities for growth.
Knowing that horticulture is under the agriculture umbrella and having Farm Bureau supporting horticulture like it does the rest of ag is very important.
If it wasn't for Farm Bureau, I personally, along with many others, would not have had the opportunity to meet with our representatives face to face in Washington.
