Instruction

Entry forms must accompany all entries. A copy of the entry form may be downloaded from fair
website [ http://www.windsorfair.com ]. All entries must be the original work of the submitting artist.

The words Windsor Fair and the dates [August 30 through Labor Day, September 7, 2009] of the
fair will be added to the design of the poster; Windsor Fair and the year on1y on the t-shirts. The
artist may include wording in their design, but a design that stands on its own might be considered
more versatile.

Poster size is 15.5" x 23". The artwork should be similar in height and width, approximately 12"
x 13", before words. The artist could envision various sized t-shirts as well.

Other considerations:
                   Crosshatching does not reproduce cleanly on t-shirts materia1.
                   Frames, borders and large geometric shapes become distorted on fabric.
                   Watercolors lose some of their integrity on fabric.
                   Nine colors is a good maximum number for this kind of work.
                   Too much white gets lost on fabric.
                   It is wise to photocopy the black and white version, recording colors as added to insure a quality reproduction.
