The Eighth Annual Denver Catfish Festval Logo Contest!

Tired of the same old thing? Prove it!

Greetings, Fellow Catfish Enthusiasts,

We at the Denver Catfish Festival have listened to your tips, suggestions, pointers, and complaints.  We are proud to announce that your voices have been partially heard. 

While there will be no changes to the date of the Festival, the time of the Festival, the rules of the Festival Haiku contest, the allowable events for which you might be “pre” partying at the Festival,  or what you may do/not do at the Festival, we are not unwilling to compromise on one issue:

The Eighth Annual Denver Catfish Festival Logo. 

Today marks the beginning of The First Annual Denver Catfish Festival Logo contest.  If you believe that you can create a better design that the wonderful and varied logos of years’ past, here is your chance. 

A few rules:

• Please submit logo ideas in .jpeg or similar formats to The Chairman via email.  
• We are staying with the “Euro” oval design sticker, so whatever you come up with must fit within its bounds.
• Your logo MUST Contain the following text: Denver, Catfish, Festival, and 2010.  It CAN contain whatever else you want to say (within the general bounds of decency, of course.)
• The contest ends on June 15th, 2010.
• If they all suck, then we’ll figure something else out. 
• Non-winning entries will be printed on those little Tibetan prayer flags and shipped to Caddo Lake, where they will spiritually protect all of the catfishermen who brave Caddo’s black waters each day to provide us with our delicious, flaky, tender gifts.

The winning entry will be announced in the parking lot of Red Rocks at 5:18 PM on June 26th, 2010.  Following the announcement, a post-party will take place with Widespread Panic providing musical entertainment (assuming you have a ticket to the show.) 

This will give us time to create the decals, beer coozies, hats, t-shirts, thongs, messenger bags, decorative tiles, towel sets, oven mitts, parade vehicles, and various other dry goods upon which your winning logo shall be placed.    

Before you all is an opportunity to be remembered for all eternity as The Official Graphic Designer of the Eighth Annual Denver Catfish Festival.  Do not let it pass you by. 

Sincerely,

Joe T., Chmn.
