For the second year, Downtown Akron Partnership is seeking local artists to submit design ideas for the First Night Akron 2018 admission button and event poster.
The artwork submitted should be visually active and represent the spirit of First Night Akron. Designs that include logos, copyrighted or trademarked images, advertisements, or political, commercial, religious, or sexual symbols, themes or messages will not be considered. Designs should be appropriate for a diverse, broad-based audience of all ages.
The artwork will be featured on 13,000 admission buttons, the framed event poster for sponsors and incorporated into all marketing collateral for the event. The artist will also receive an honorarium of $500.
Inquiries and questions about the RFP must be submitted in writing to Kelli Fetter at
kfetter@downtownakron.com. Questions are due by August 9. All responses will be published at firstnightakron.org on August 11 and remain posted through the close of the submission period.
