SIUSLAW NEWS ❚ SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1, 2016 Logo design contest announced for 2017 Rhody Festival The Florence Area Chamber of Commerce has announced the 110th Rhododendron Festival logo contest. The Chamber has named the U.S. Coast Guard Station Siuslaw River in Florence as Grand Marshal for the 110th Rhododendron Festival Parade on May 21, 2017. “This is the station’s 100th anniversary of service to our area. They are such an impor- tant, even vital, part of our community,” said Bettina Hannigan, executive director for the Florence Area Chamber of Commerce. “We want to honor the men and women assigned to Florence, and their many contributions to the com- munity.” Hannigan explained it was one of many reasons the Chamber chose to recognize them with one of the highest honors it can give by making them the Grand Marshal and the centerpiece of the 110th celebration. “And as such, we are inte- grating the Coast Guard’s offi- cial motto ‘Semper Paratus,’ or ‘Always Ready,’ into our festi- val’s theme,” said Hannigan. “This year’s theme will be ‘Always Ready to Rhody!’” Professional and amateur graphic designers of all ages and from across the state are invited to submit logo designs by emailing them to events@ florencechamber.com or by uploading it at www.florence chamber.com by Monday, Oct. 17, at 5 p.m. for consideration. The winning design will be printed on official festival T- shirts, commemorative pins, banners, advertisements and print guides. The grand prize winner will receive a cash prize of $250, a framed festival poster, two complimentary festival T- shirts and two tickets to the carnival. They will also earn mention in communitywide publicity, online posts at www.florence chamber.com, and press releas- es related to the festival. “We’re looking for fun, original designs that capture the energy of the festival and celebrating our community,” said Jenna Bartlett, Chamber board president. A full list of rules is avail- able at www.florencechamber .com. Logos must incorporate the Rhododendron flower, a graphic element representing Florence, and the text: “Always Ready to Rhody,” “110th” and “Rhododendron Festival.” Designs may incorporate up to five colors. A panel of judges will deter- mine the grand prize winner, which will be announced Friday, Oct. 21. Artists may create multiple designs for consideration, but must submit each design sepa- rately. Companies may participate and will receive a business level chamber membership with a bonus category package if their design is chosen. Self-employed graphic artists or amateur designers can choose the cash prize or sponsorship package. The 2017 Rhododendron Festival will be held May 19, 20 and 21, 2017.
