🎨 CALLING ALL LOCAL ARTISTS, ILLUSTRATORS, & CREATIVES! 👜✨
We are officially launching our 2027 Tote Bag Design Contest starting TODAY!
Last year, we debuted our very first Cowlitz Community Farmers Market tote bags! For our 2027 season we want our community to be right at the heart of a new tradition. Whether you are a professional artist, a passionate hobbyist, or a talented student, we want to hand the canvas over to YOU to design next year's official market bag.
📝 How to Enter:
1. Create an original design that celebrates the heart and soul of our market community. All artistic mediums are welcome! Whether you prefer hand-drawn sketches, watercolor paintings, digital illustrations, or photography, show us your creativity. (Original human-made artwork only—no AI-generated designs, please!)
2. Email your high-resolution design file to [email protected] by midnight October 31st 2026.
⚠️ Important Requirement:
1. Make sure to include your name or signature somewhere within your artwork so it is permanently printed right on the final bags!
2. This is a family event and we expected art work to reflect that! We won't accept any art work that includes but isn't limited to: curse words, inappropriate images, political, religious etc.
3. Having our logo and website included somewhere in the art work would be fantastic!
🏆 The Prize:
The grand prize-winning artist will have their artwork printed on thousands of next year's market bags for the community to see. You will receive a tote bag featuring your design, bragging rights, and special market merch bundle!
Let’s build this new tradition together. Tag an artist below who needs to see this! 👇
