BUFFALO — The Elmwood Village Farmers Market will hold its seventh annual poster contest to promote the outdoor market’s upcoming 2017 season.

The art and concept should reflect the overall values of the Elmwood Village Farmers Market. It’s important to remember that all products sold at the market are grown or produced within the eight counties of Western New York. The poster must also incorporate the Elmwood Village Association logo accompanied by the words “A program of the Elmwood Village Association,” and the Elmwood Village Farmers Market logo.

All entries must be submitted electronically by March 10 to jkirchmyer@verizon.net. Entries will be judged by the Elmwood Village Farmers Market Board of Directors, and the winner will be announced on the market’s website at www.elmwoodmarket.org and Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ElmwoodBidwellFarmersMarket.

The winning artist will receive a $100 cash prize. The winning entry will also be on display at the market throughout the 2017 season.
