Montague Reporter holding wrapping paper contest fundraiser
MONTAGUE — The Montague Reporter is holding a wrapping paper design contest. Seven winning designs will be printed as a special holiday edition of the newspaper, in which all the pages can be used as wrapping paper.
Each artist will have two full adjacent pages of space for their design, comprising a double page measuring approximately 20 by 22 inches. Artists may design in full color or in black and white. Each winner also gets a $200 prize.
Those making a proposal rather than submitting an immediate design should include three samples of finished work that represents the intended design style.
Artists from western Massachusetts and southern Vermont are invited to submit designs by Sept. 1. There is also a separate category for artists who are 15 years old or younger, with at least one finalist selected from this group. Interested designers are encouraged to submit their name, address, phone number, proposal/completed design and whether they qualify for the youth category to features@montaguereporter.org with “Wrap” in the subject line.
The Wrapping Paper Edition will be available between Thanksgiving and the end of December in local stores and online at $5 each or five for $20. Sales support the Montague Reporter.
