​Artists, buckle up and create your designs for a poster!

The winner will receive $1000.00 in prize money from Rim Country Artists in exchange for donating the original artwork to RCA.

 

There will be special press and social media publicity.

• Proportion your artwork to have high resolution when reproduced at 24” x 36”.

• Use any medium and any support.

• Do not frame your work so that it is camera-ready.

• Oriented vertically, the artwork must leave room to give very visible room to these words:

 

143nd World’s Oldest Continuous Rodeo      

August 20-23, 2026 and the presenters’ titles with their logos:  

Rim Country Artists, Payson Pro Rodeo Committee

 

The Payson Pro Rodeo Committee (PPRC) will judge the competition. No Rim Country Artists (RCA) Board members may compete. After the winning artwork is selected, RCA will add the typography. Both the Rodeo and RCA Boards will approve the design before production. The PPRC will select the number of posters, pay for them, sell them, and retain all profits. The winning artist is asked to sign a maximum of 50 printed posters for the PPRC.

 

RCA will never reproduce the artwork, as reproduction rights are reserved by the PPRC. RCA may, however, sell or auction the original at a future date. The PPRC will keep all rights to the poster itself, in perpetuity, as well as its reproduction and all profits from sales. These posters will likely become collectors’ pieces, especially those that are signed.

 

All photographed entries must be turned in by July 1st. Send your jpeg photo file to Elizabeth Fowler at WHandFF2023@gmail.com.
