LISBON — Each year Lisbon’s Moxie Festival Committee invites talented individuals to design a logo that captures the excitement, energy and purpose of the festival.

The committee is seeking artwork for the 2018 festival consistent with the theme, “Moxie Through the Decades.” The winning logo will be used on the official 2018 Moxie Festival T-shirts and other branded items.

Considered by many in Maine as a July explosion of orange during the peak of summer, the annual festival also features an exclusive and collectible T-shirt. In addition to seeing their artwork displayed on T-shirts, the winner also receives a $100 cash prize, media recognition, the first 2018 printed T-shirt and the opportunity to judge parade floats designed and inspired by the theme.

The deadline for entries is 4 p.m. Friday, Jan. 19, 2018. Winners will be selected by the Moxie Festival Committee, a small group that coordinates and produces the event.

Details, artwork guidelines and contest rules are available online at the Moxie Festival website, www.moxiefestival.com, or by contacting Lisbon Economic Development Director and Moxie Festival Coordinator Tracey Steuber at 207-353-3000, ext. 122.

The Moxie Festival, celebrating Maine’s official soft drink, is always the second weekend in July. In 2018 it will be held July 13 to 15.
