The Brighton Memorial Library is pleased to present the 2009 Go Postal! art contest and show. Go Postal! is a small works show that showcases the talents of young artists in Brighton.  It is a juried show and is an excellent first experience for students wishing to show their art work. The contest includes cash awards for winners in Junior (grades 6-9) and Senior (grades 10-12) divisions. The awards are: first place $50, second place $25, and honorable mention $10.

The show is open to 6-12 graders who live in or go to school in Brighton. Up to two, original works may be submitted by each artist and may be in any media (paint, low-relief sculpture, photography, etc.). The size is limited to 5” x  7”  and no more than 2” deep. Entries must be received unframed.

All works must be labeled with the artist’s name, return address, phone number, school, and grade. There are no restrictions on theme or content, but the library reserves the right not to accept works that may not be suitable for a public environment. All artwork is judged anonymously, and all decisions of the library are final. All accepted works will be hung, and remain on display through January 31, 2010.

By submission, the artist grants permission for the library to display, photograph and reproduce the submitted work for publicity purposes. The library will not be held responsible for lost or damaged work.

The deadline for entries is November 18. Winners will be contacted November 25-30, and the opening reception will be held December 17 at the library. All entries will be on display at the Brighton Library through January 31.
 
Works must be dropped off at the library, or mailed either as a postcard or in an envelope to:
