HOT OFF THE PRESS - Please share!!
Dear Houghton & Keweenaw Counties Middle & High School Students:
The CopperDog Board of Directors is pleased to announce the return of its โFeatured Artist Programโ.
The program is open to students grades 8th-12th (ages 13-19) including homeschoolers. Artwork needs to be submitted before December 31, 2023. Submissions should be e-mailed to [email protected] as a photo or scan.
Art pieces should be created in โportrait orientationโ on โletter sizeโ paper (8.5โ x 11โ) with full-bleed (work goes to the edge of the paper). Digital pieces are to be created in the same orientation and size with a minimum resolution of 400 pixels per inch. If you have any questions, please contact CopperDog before you start!
Artwork should be original, and include "CopperDog 2024" somewhere on the piece. Along with your submission please attach a short bio of yourself including your name, age, grade, school, and contact information. Any media can be utilized, but it should be themed around the sport of sled dog racing.
The chosen artist will be notified by CopperDog in January of 2024 and also be presented with a commemorative letter for your art portfolio, and some CopperDog souvenirs.
The Featured Art will be the 2024 official race poster, which will be visible throughout the Copper Country as advertising for this yearโs race. Each official in the race will also be wearing your artwork on a badge. Additionally, artwork could be featured on CopperDog merchandise.
The Featured Artist will also be present at the start ceremony in downtown Calumet on Friday night. All monies raised from the Featured Artist sales are considered part of the overall fundraising efforts, which support the annual CopperDog events.
We are incredibly proud of our area youth and look forward to seeing what the young artists of the Keweenaw will present to us. Feel free to contact CopperDog with any questions at [email protected].
Good luck to all who enter and thank you for your support!
Sincerely, The CopperDog Board of Directors
