Entry fees are just $10 per team and the location is Artisan Alley East, next to the new Chamber Building (formerly Christensen's) at 75 S. Main. This is a great location, right in the center of the festival, out of the wind, and partially shaded. Specific prize details will depend on artist participation, but as in all of our visual art exhibits, entry fees are always returned to the artists in the form of cash awards, you'll also receive some nice contest swag from local sponsors.
