The Temple Main Street Program sponsors the 5th Annual Temple Community Treasures Visual Arts Contest. We are conducting this contest as part of Temple’s observance of National Preservation Month, which is May, and the contest's purpose is to draw community attention to the importance of protecting and preserving our historic buildings.
Digital photograph entries will also be accepted. Digital entries will be judged separately from the framed entries and the sole winner of the digital photo contest will receive a 1st Place ribbon and be featured on social media. For more information about how to submit a digital entry or about the contest generally, please call Temple Main Street Manager Dan Kelleher at (254) 298-5378 or e-mail him at dkelleher@templetx.gov.
The rules of the contest are simple:
The 1st, 2nd & 3rd place painting winners will receive prize ribbons and cash prizes from our sponsor Susan Sterle. The cash prizes are as follows:
1st Place - $300
2nd Place - $200
3rd Place - $100
All photographs & paintings submitted will be used in public displays for not more than six months – May-October and photographers should participate in this contest at their own risk. Neither the City of Temple, nor any other contest sponsor will be held responsible for lost or damaged photos or frames. The photographs/paintings will be returned to the contest entrants when these public displays have concluded. Contestants will be called and/or E-mailed about collecting their photograph(s). If repeated attempts are made to contact the artist and the artist fails to respond, the Temple Main Street Program reserves the right to dispose of any unclaimed contest entries. Also, by submitting a photo or painting, contestants give the City of Temple permission to use that photo in promotions. Such photos may be posted publically on Facebook or other social media, in print material, and/or public or private TV broadcasts.
