Gears are cranking as Fiesta San Antonio prepares to unveil the 2017 Official Fiesta Poster this Fall and continue planning for 2017. But, the Fiesta San Antonio Commission isn’t done yet. The Commission is asking area artists to participate in a new poster contest for Fiesta Fiesta, the Official kick-off to the Party with a Purpose.
The “My Fiesta” Poster Contest is geared toward attracting artists who can show a fresh, new take on Fiesta and illustrate beloved traditions in a way that screams, “It’s my Fiesta, too!”
All artists are invited create submissions that represent the edgy and modern style of Urban Art while incorporating the spirit and theme of love and unity in our City and Fiesta San Antonio.
The design and elements will be used in official Fiesta merchandise and be adapted to an Official Fiesta Fiesta Medal and T-shirt.
Deadline for submission is 12 p.m. September 30, 2016.
Entries must be submitted before the deadline to the Fiesta Commission Office, 2611 Broadway, San Antonio, TX 78215. Office hours are Monday through Thursday 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m, and 8:30 am to 12 pm on Fridays.
The winning artist will receive $2,000, be honored at the annual Fiesta San Antonio Media Day on March 29, 2017, and receive five percent of net profit on merchandise inspired by the poster.
The winning artist must be available for certain poster signings, media interviews and public appearances from January 2017 through April 2017. Fiesta 2017 dates are April 20 -30.

About the Fiesta San Antonio Commission
The Fiesta® San Antonio Commission Inc. is a nonprofit, volunteer, self-supporting organization that plans, (more) promotes, coordinates, and preserves Fiesta® San Antonio through support of its Participating Member Organizations in presenting a safe, educational, annual celebration of the diverse heritage, culture and spirit of San Antonio for its residents and visitors.
Fiesta® San Antonio is a fusion of arts, heritage and culture and culminates every year in April— to honor the memory of the heroes of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto. Taking place over 11 days each April, Fiesta literally has something for everyone with more than 110 events ranging in highlights from music, food, sports and pageantry to military and patriotic observances, exhibits, parades, Fiesta® Royalty and more.
Fiesta is also the “Party with a Purpose” because more than 100 local nonprofit organizations and military units create the more than 100 terrific events that take place over 11 days. Those nonprofit organizations spend the rest of the year giving back to the community of San Antonia.
