City of Issaquah issued the following announcement on Aug. 28.
The City of Issaquah is seeking original, student (pre-K through 12th grade) artwork to create unique, Issaquah face masks. What would you like to see on a mask around Issaquah, in your neighborhood, at home? We would love to see your creative ideas!
Submitted designs will be featured on the City’s social media and a select few will be printed on face masks produced by local companies and sold to help benefit local, human service nonprofits.
Submission Deadline: 5 p.m. Wednesday, September 30, 2020
Compensation: $250 per selected design.
Create Your Artwork:
- Designs should be completed within the boundaries of the mask template.
- Use bold, bright colors that will translate well into a digital scan or photograph.
- Designs can be completed by hand or on the computer.
- If completing the design by hand, materials like paint and markers work best. If using crayons, apply them thickly and fill in shapes as fully as possible.
Create a digital scan (300 dpi or higher) or take a digital photo of your artwork.
(Please hold on to your original artwork in case it is selected for printing.)
