Local Contests... WITH PRIZES!




Hallmark is having a contest to "make a Mother’s Day card that makes moms laugh".  Competition ends at midnight THIS Sunday so you have to be quick, and if your idea is selected, it will be  made into a card sold on hallmark.com and possibly in Hallmark stores... a total winning potential of $500!  So get crackin'!  More information is copied below.
 
This contest is That's Motherhood! Make a Mother’s Day card that makes
moms laugh.

Use photography, illustration or design— just make sure it’s:
    1. Funny and for Mother’s Day
    2. Sendable (works for many moms or friends) 

    3. Cohesive (writing and images work together)

COAST Was There: Chalk It Up!

September 19th, Siloam Springs Parks & Recreation hosted a community event for children called "Chalk It Up!", and COAST was there! Members of COAST helped encourage kids creativity by building crafts, painting, sidewalk chalk art, sculpting play-doh, making bead necklaces, and much more.


(Thanks to Jay Jewitt for the use of his photos)

We all had a blast, got free pizza, and even had caricature's done for free. Can you guess who's who?



Make sure not miss out on upcoming events! Check back regularly for all event info and awesome creative opportunities.
