Chalk your way to a blue ribbon

Posted on 7:08 AM by Unknown

We love sidewalk chalk!

Who doesn’t remember spending endless summer hours chalking away on the driveway?

Well, you may not have the time to spend endless hours chalking away, but I’m willing to bet you could spare a few hours this summer to relive your childhood and make new memories chalking it up in the Ohio State Fairs 2012 Street Art competition.

On Aug. 4, participants in this new competition will use chalk and either a 4x4 or 8x8 area of asphalt on the grounds to paint a scene at the Fair.

First, second and third place winners will be awarded. First place will win $200 for their creative chalking skills.

Click here for more details or email p.oloughlin@expo.state.oh.us with any online entry questions.

You have until July 15 to enter, so sign up and start chalking!

But wait - there's more!

Entry Process Helpful Hints

Posted on 8:55 PM by Unknown
The new Ohio State Fair (ohiostatefair.com) website is up, and looks great!

As the entry deadline approaches, I wanted to share some feedback I've been receiving from artists who have entered:

1. 400 pixels is the minimum amount of pixels your entry can have and 6MB is the largest file size we accept. There is some confusion between the Prospectus and the OAC guideline we provide on our site. I plan to clarify this for the 2013 Exhibition.

2. If you make a mistake with uploading log back in to the upload page.

3. You must pay for your entry at the time you enter in order to upload your images. The system only takes VISA or Mastercard,  If you do not own a credit/debit card you can have someone charge it for you, or you can purchase a VISA gift card just fill in your name and billing information along with the card number.

If you have any other helpful hints please email them to me p.oloughlin@expo.state.oh.us

I hope this is helpful!
