Congratulations Amanda Morton from Dillon, MT! Amanda is the winner of the 2012 Sweet Pea Poster Art Contest.
This year’s contest garnered 69 outstanding entries! A group of five community members were invited to jury the entries and narrow the selection down to five. The jurors used the following guidelines to aid in their decision: a) how well did the entry represent Sweet Pea; b) that the entry was not too similar to a prior year’s poster; c) how well the artwork would reproduce; and d) personal preference.
The chosen five were presented to the Sweet Pea Board of Directors on May 9th, where they declared Amanda Morton this year’s winner after several rounds of elimination voting.
All 69 entries will be on display at the ERA Landmark/Downtown Visitor Center during the month of July and we invite you to visit the display. Posters and other Sweet Pea Merchandise will be on sale July 5th at various outlets around town.
Grand Prize: Amanda Morton
Second Place: Nikki Romero
Third Place: Ivy Davis & Karen Luckey (co-artists)
Honorable Mention: Shay Armstrong and JP Pomnichowski
