Ruby Ross is home and doing well. She says each day gets better. Tom Cook is still in the hospital this day and from the information I have received may be coming home soon with hospice care. Please keep Ruby and Tom in your thoughts and prayers.
It is getting close for the deadline to submit your idea for the Poster Contest. I am running the rules once again. It is your opportunity to have your artwork a part of CASI history!
Poster Rules and Guidelines
CASI is looking for a unique, creative design that embodies the essence of TICC and CASI.
Artwork must be original and should include bold colors.
The dimensions of the two posters will be 18” X 24” and 11” X 17”. Submissions do not need to be that size, but they must maintain that proportion. The 11” x 17” poster is an informational poster. Copies of last years posters will be made available in PDF format upon request. These posters may be used as a guideline for some of the content required in the design.
Winning designs may also be used for souvenir TICC shirts.
All entries should include in the title, “44 Annual Terlingua International Chili Championship”, and the date, “November 6, 2010”. It must also list the names of the current Board members and include the CASI logo.
Designs must be sent electronically in a standard graphic format (PDF or JPG).
Pictures of last year’s winners and sponsor logos will be made available and must be added to the poster design before printing. Changes to the wording and design may be requested by the Board.
If selected, the artwork becomes the sole property of CASI and the Terlingua International Chili Championship and may or may not be used in any manner CASI desires. The winning designer will receive credit with their name included on the final product.
Submission deadline will be June 20th. Entries must be sent to Janice Miller, 3014 Oak Mountain Trail, San Angelo, TX 76904 or garjans@suddenlink.net. Winning entries will be chosen at the Board of Directors Meeting in Arlington, Texas on June 26, 2010.
Personal Note: In the July Terlingua Trails I have official announced that I am going to run for a second term as ED. I believe that I have served CASI well the last two years. I have stumbled a few times, but have learned from each stumble. I am still learning the job. I have tried to be fair, listen, and support you as Executive Director. I would be honored to have your support.
