Amador County – Amador Arts and the city of Jackson are sponsoring a logo contest for the Kennedy Tailing Wheels Park, with the entry deadline to be postmarked by March 1.

All ages and abilities may enter the logo contest to develop an image that will visually identify The Kennedy Tailing Wheels Park located on Jackson Gate Road in Jackson. Artists may submit up to three designs per person by mailing hardcopies and sending them electronically.

Three divisions include no entry fee for two student divisions. Middle and high school is one category; elementary school is the other. For the Open Category, for professional and amateur artists, there is a $5 per design entry fee. The contest is for Amador County residents only.

Cash awards totaling $400 will be as follows: $50 for the elementary school student winner; $100 for the middle or high school student winner; and $250 for the winner of the Open Division. One overall winning design will be selected to be the new logo of the Kennedy Tailing Wheels Park, which is undergoing rehabilitation as a Historical Preservation Project called Save The Wheel. A major use of the logo will be for signage at the park and on the kiosk.

Complete details and rules of the contest, including size of the entry, judging criteria, and where and how to make submissions, can be found at AmadorArts.org. People may also call Amador Arts at (209)223-9038, leave a message to have Logo Rules mailed to them, or visit Jackson City Hall at 33 Broadway to pick up a set.
