We were made aware that many artists had not heard about the badge art contest and wanted to submit a piece so we are extending the deadline to February 20, 2017.
For our 2017 Event, ConCarolinas is going to run a contest for the badge and t-shirt art contest. The First Place Winner will receive two memberships* to the convention, a mention in the program book, an 8×10 print of the artwork, and a complimentary t-shirt.
The contest starts today, October 3rd, and ends on February 20th. Artists should look at past CeeCee Artwork:

And our Guests of Honor:
https://concarolinas.org//guests-2017/
Artwork requirements:
- Must contain a PegaPanther aka winged panther.
- Other optional elements are a celtic ring and a skull
Artist should submit finished artwork. If artwork is only concept work, it will not be accepted.
Your artwork should be submitted as a .jpg, .gif, or .png. It should be high resolution and in a large size so that those voting on the design can see the details. Your artwork must be submitted without your signature on the artwork since it will be voted on based on the artwork, not the artist.
If you are the grand prize winner, you will need to submit the following:
- Artwork for the t-shirt that is 600 dpi and in a .psd or PDF format. (ConCarolinas will provide more details on requirements.)
- Artwork in a low resolution format that is watermarked for website and social media
- Artwork for the badges. While our badges will be 3-1/4″ x 5-1/4″, the artwork will have to be able to be sized to 3″ x 5″.
- High Resolution .jpg with artist signature for prints (release form for printer). Artist will receive 50% of the proceeds. The other 50% will cover the cost of printing and the remainder will be donated to the Charity Auction. The print will be made available in the ConCarolinas Art Show.
The Grand Prize Winner will receive:
- Two complimentary memberships to ConCarolinas 2017*
- A souvenir T-Shirt
- 50% of the proceeds from print sales
- Acknowledgment online and in our program book
We will also be awarding prizes to 2nd through 6th place. Each person will receive a complimentary membership* to ConCarolinas 2017 and a mention in the Program book.
Artwork should be emailed to concarolinas@concarolinas.org
