Art Design Contest ($300) for Holiday Greeting Card Fundraiser

Art Design Contest ($300) for Holiday Greeting Card Fundraiser



The Phoenix Club of Nashville, a local non-profit that supports the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee, is currently seeking artists to participate in our annual holiday greeting card fundraiser. This campaign relies on donated work from local artists that capture the spirit of the holiday and/or our city. 100% of the proceeds benefit the Boys and Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee.



Last year’s campaign raised over $50,000. In addition to supporting a worthy cause, our artists receive favorable publicity and exposure. Each card will have the particular artist's citation (logo, website, trademark, company or school) as they want it to appear. In addition, the artists' work will be displayed on our website, which shall include the citation and an artist's bio. The artist will receive visibility with the clients and friends of our charitable customers (leading corporations, banks, and marketing, public relations, and law firms). We typically sell 30,000 to 40,000 units per year.



If you are interested, please send us your artwork, logo and a short biography. Please let me know if you have any interest or questions. I have attached a file with the greeting cards we used for last year’s campaign. Thanks again for your consideration.



Please contact Dustin Baucom at 615.775.1290 or dbaucom@wradvisors.com for more information.







Deadline to Submit Artwork: Artwork accepted in July; finalists chosen August 15





Benefits of Helping:

· Help children of the Boys and Girls Clubs

· Exposure for yourself, company or school

· Publishing opportunity

· Chance to win $300



Contest Details:

Up to nine designs by local artists will be selected to be published. The Phoenix Club calls on businesses locally and some businesses nationally to sell the greeting cards. The designer of the card that sells the most will receive $300. You are not required to sell the cards yourself although we appreciate any sales you may be able to point in our direction.





Design Options:

· City of Nashville

· Nashville during the holiday season

· Holiday images such as a snowman, presents, Santa, ornaments, etc.

· We only need the design for the front of the card (we will write the content for the inside of the card)
