The first-place winner will receive a $1,000 cash prize as well as a signed copy of Phil Ponder’s new print, “Nashville Adventure.” The runner-up will receive a $250 cash prize. The entry fee is $25 per person. Team entries are welcome. Artists can use any medium, and the entry must be no larger than 36” x 36” x 36”.
