All About Beer Magazine and the World Beer Festival Durham are pleased to announce a cover art contest. For the 2015 World Beer Festival-Durham, we’re running a t-shirt art contest called 20 Years of Beer in Durham. In keeping with our mission of building beer appreciation and cultivating beer communities, we are now seeking submissions for t-shirt art to be used on the official commemorative t-shirt for the upcoming 20th Anniversary of the World Beer Festival Durham.
The first place winner will receive four VIP tickets to a World Beer Festival Durham 2015, $200 payment for the art and have their creation used as the artwork on the 20th Anniversary World Beer Festival commemorative T-shirt.
The theme for the cover art should be “20 years of Beer in Durham.”
