Culture Shock! Free Music and Art Fest 2015 logo contest taking submissions now through June 5
Culture Shock! Free Music and Art Fest is for everyone. It belongs to the people of NEPA and it is for the people of NEPA.
Culture Shock! has two main purposes – showcase the immense talent in our area, and culturally enhance our community.
We decided to call it Culture Shock! because it’s a vast mix of different styles of music, culture, and art. Our hope is that you’ll hear music from a genre that you might not have known you even liked, or see a cool piece of artwork in a style you’ve never seen before – all while showcasing the creativity that lives in the place we call home.
With these values and ideals in mind, we always have our logo created by a local artist. Every year, we have a new logo designed so that it’s a different style each time, fulfilling one of our main goals to expose people to different genres and styles of art.
We took last year off from the festival and will be returning on Sept. 19 with a new set of ways to showcase our community. This contest is the first of many new things to come. We’ve chosen some pretty sweet prizes and hope this incentivizes our local artists to submit to the contest and join us in this most important mission.
Submissions will close on June 5, and a winner will be announced on NEPA Scene on June 9.
Note: Please submit using the desktop version of the website.
