Hello Mid-Atlantic Illustrators, To date we have recieved only a small number of submissions for our Mid-Atlantic Illustrator challenge. In the interest of getting more of our illustrators to participate, we will extend the deadline for another three weeks. Final art is now due on Tuesday, July 22nd. This will be the absolute final date art can be accepted so we have time for the judging and printing. Banner art may be submitted at any time during the year (see specs below). This deadline is for the notecard challenge only. If chosen, this is a fantastic opportunity for you to have your art handed directly into the hands of our stellar Fall conference faculty! Please submit only ONE IMAGE per person. Good luck and happy creating!
