MARQUETTE, MICHIGAN – The Marquette Downtown Development Authority invites residents of all ages and skill levels to submit original artwork for the 2014 Blueberry Festival Poster contest. The selected design will be reproduced as a full-color, limited edition 10 x 13 inch poster. Original artwork in any medium is welcome but should not be larger than 11 x 17 inches and must not have been previously reproduced.

All entries will be on display at the Marquette Arts & Culture Center, 217 North Front Street, throughout that time period for those who would like to view and vote for the artwork in person. In exchange for the rights to the selected artwork, the winner will receive $150 in gift certificates from downtown businesses and 10 posters.
