OXNARD, Calif. - eMusicWire -- The deadline to enter and submit artwork for the 39th Annual California Strawberry Festival Artwork Contest is January 24, 2025. The artist with the winning strawberry-themed design will receive $2,000 and VIP tickets to the Festival, which takes place May 17-18, 2025, at the Ventura County Fairgrounds.

Entries will be evaluated by a judging panel looking for creativity and the best use of a strawberry design. The winning design may be used in printed and digital advertising collateral as well as on souvenir merchandise. Artists should keep in mind that judges may give preference to artwork that will print well on promotional items like t-shirts.

All artwork must be the artist's original creation with designs accepted in a variety of mediums—digital, oil, watercolors, inks, pencil, photograph or mixed media. Artwork must be created without using artificial intelligence (AI) or stock images including graphics, illustrations and photos.
