Zanesville Community Theatre and the members of the OUR TOWN production crew are hosting a visual art competition. We are looking for the best artistic depiction of that special something that makes your town special and unique. It's a chance to celebrate the characteristics that make your town special. This contest is a bit different because we are asking that a 25 word or less description be included with your entry. Your entry can be photographs, it can be sketches, paintings, etc. The entry fee is $15 - but with that you can enter up to 3 entries. It will be a juried show. There will be a 1st, 2nd & 3rd place winners category in two age groups - 12 to 18 year olds and 19 year olds through adults. The "Judges Favorites" will be honored as well. Prizes include patron packages and gift certificates to Hobby Lobby. All accepted entries will be featured in ZCT's Lobby and in the Auditorium during the run of Our Town in May 2007.
