Third Annual Holiday Card Contest
A Call to Artists
Use your creativity to help celebrate Cincinnati history!
M. Hopple & Co., Cincinnati’s premier fine paper goods retailer, is
proud to announce our third annual Holiday Card Contest. This year’s
contest will feature Cincinnati neighborhoods, landmarks and special
places. Art depicting our distinctive bridges, our beautiful local
parks, the vibrant city center and Fountain Square area, historic
Findlay Market, our skyline or riverfront views, or unique
neighborhoods like Mt. Adams and Price Hill are welcome. Artists are
encouraged to use their imaginations to create a piece that
showcases our city!
This year, we are reaching out to area students, encouraging them to
enter this fun and prestigious competition. Our panel of jurors will
select one student submission to be printed, along with other
designs, to be included in a unique Holiday Card Collection. The
Holiday Card Collection will be sold at M. Hopple & Co.’s two
locations with a portion of the proceeds going to ArtWorks, a
nonprofit arts organization that offers job training, creative
services, and public art to the Greater Cincinnati community. |
