Call to Artists: The Heart of the Harbor
Destin Seafood Festival Announces 2010 Poster Contest

     Destin, FL, April 1 - The theme of the 32nd Annual Destin Seafood Festival – ‘The Heart of the Harbor’ – celebrates the festival’s new location, right on Destin’s harbor, among its docks, charter boats, and fishermen. Artists are invited to submit their handcrafted work showcasing this theme by Monday, May 17, at 11 a.m. No computer-generated or enhanced artwork will be accepted.

     The entries will be voted on by the Destin Area Chamber of Commerce membership during its Friday, June 11, Business to Business Breakfast. The winner will be announced on Monday, June14.

     Thanks to a partnership with Destin Fishing Fleet, Inc., the 32nd Annual Destin Seafood Festival is going to set up along the harbor at the City of Destin Royal Melvin Heritage Park and Fisherman’s Wharf on Sept. 17-19. The new location puts the festival right in the heart of the action along the harbor, and the new dates make it a true kick off to the Destin Fishing Rodeo, which takes place the entire month of October. More than 30,000 locals and visitors attended the 2009 festival to enjoy live music, delicious seafood, and more.

     Those entering the contest should complete the Artist Application and return it to the Chamber with your entry.
