The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is inviting sports and cycling fans to create the national and host city commemorative posters for the inaugural international cycling competition held on August 22-28. Entrants can submit their artwork through the event’s Facebook page now, and submissions will be accepted until June 19, 2011. The winners will be announced on July 19, 2011.
The USA Pro Cycling Challenge brings some of the greatest athletes in the world to compete in a scenic collection of quaint towns and mountain resorts. The race organisers see that this combination will inspire artists to capture the intensity of the race with the specific and unique characteristics of the tour’s host cities through original artwork.
Artists will be submitting artwork for consideration as one of 12 official posters: one for the national commemorative poster, and 11 for each of the host cities (Colorado Springs, Salida, Crested Butte, Gunnison, Aspen, Vail, Avon, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, Golden and Denver.)
The posters will be used throughout the event for various promotional activities and will be seen by millions of sports fans worldwide.
“We hope the fan-generated commemorative posters become one of the most anticipated traditions of the USA Pro Cycling Challenge,” said Stacie Lange, EVP of Marketing and Communications for the USA Pro Cycling Challenge.
“Our goal is for cycling fans to get excited about the opportunity to showcase the unique characteristics of the host cities, while capturing the drama and intensity of a professional cycling event.”
Fans will enter the contest on www.facebook.com/USAProCyclingChallenge by clicking on the contest link on the left side of the page to submit their artwork.
