Preparation of Entries

​

​​

​1.  The artwork and design must be original*, and must reflect the Medieval/Renaissance era. The poster should have a clear, concise, design with legible text, and be eye-catching from a distance because the winning design may be printed on concession items such as t-shirts.

* Posters may not include artwork based on copyrighted and/or trademarked images. Please do not use images from books, newspapers, magazines, or any Internet sources not in the public domain, as this would not comply with the “original art” rules of the contest. AI generated artwork will not be considered.

2.  The entry must be in a vertical format 18” x 24.” The following information must be included in the poster design:
   a. The Faire’s name: Alabama Renaissance Faire
   b. Date of the Faire: October 25-26, 2025
   c. The place: Florence, Alabama
   d. The web address: www.thealrenfaire.org
 
3.  Important Dates for submission of poster entry: 
   a. The guidelines will be posted to all media outlets on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
   b. Entries will be due no later than Friday, June 13, 2025.
 
4.  The artist may submit the camera-ready design (600 dpi minimum/1200 preferred) through Google Drive with the link made shareable. Email the shareable Google Drive link to director@thealrenfaire.org. Alternatively, entries may be saved to a flash drive and hand-delivered to the director’s office: Billy Warren, City-County Government Building, 102 South Court Street, 2nd Floor, Florence, AL, 35630 or mailed to Alabama Renaissance Faire, P.O. Box 431, Florence, AL, 35631.
 
5.  A panel of judges will make the final determination of the winning entry based on artistic merit and suitability as a visual image for the Alabama Renaissance Faire.

​

 6.  A prize of $500 will be paid to the winner upon confirmation from the printer that the design is approved for use on Alabama Renaissance Faire merchandise.

​

7. SPECIAL NOTE: At the discretion of the Board of Directors of the Alabama Renaissance Faire, a non-winning, properly-submitted poster design from a previous year may be updated to reflect the current year’s date and re-submitted in a following year. The entry fee for such resubmission shall be waived and, if selected, the winner will receive the current prize money.
 

Please fill out the entry form below and submit it and your entry through Google Drive to director@thealrenfaire.org. Be sure the Google Drive link is made shareable to everyone. Judges will review your entry upon confirmation of payment of the $10.00 entry fee. 

In order to fill out the form, you may need to download the file, enable editing, and/or change the setting
