Logo Design Contest Submissions Have Closed.
November 7, 2022 – Live Arts Theater in downtown Charlottesville is proud to partner with Bushman Dreyfus Architects to announce a logo design contest for the 2023 Waterworks Festival: New Works on Water Street. Waterworks puts the playwright center stage for a month-long celebration of new theatrical works.
The Waterworks logo should reflect the energy, creativity, and collaborative spirit of the festival. Live Arts is committed to cultivating diverse and imaginative stories, supporting and developing the work of emerging playwrights, and being a space for the flow of new, exciting ideas. The logo will be featured on festival merchandise, print materials, social media accounts, and more.
One design will be chosen by a panel of judges to be the 2023 Waterworks Festival Logo Contest winner. The winning designer will receive a $250 prize and two All-Access Passes for the inaugural Waterworks Festival (May-June, 2023).
Artists and designers of all mediums, ages, and backgrounds are encouraged to participate. The only rule: all artwork must be original!
By submitting to the Waterworks logo design contest, even if your design is not chosen as the winning logo, you are agreeing that Live Arts can use your design freely and indefinitely. Designs may be resized, re-formatted, or manipulated for reproduction purposes.
The 2023 Waterworks Festival is presented by the Madwoman Project, sponsored by Pamela Friedman & Ronald Bailey, and produced under the direction of New Works Director Adrienne Oliver. Learn more at livearts.org.
