PINBALL EXPO ART CONTEST Returns!

right

The Pinball Art Show will be held in conjunction with this year's Pinball Expo!

Back in the mid 90s, we introduced the Art Contest as a way for show attendees to show their artistic abilities. We decided to bring it back this year for the 40th show! The approach will be that of a county fair art/craft show with ribbons, honorable mentions, and "Best of Show" awards. All work will be on display in the exhibit hall, ensuring plenty of exposure.

Our goal is to have fun and display the considerable talent which our attendees have, so bring out your pinball drawings, pictures, models, etc. All attendees and their families are encouraged to participate in any (or all) of the categories listed below. (All participants age 14 and under will be placed in the youth division category and judged accordingly).

While every effort will be made to protect your entry, it must be noted that no insurance will be available. A display card will be provided for each entry noting the artist, category, and selling price if you wish to sell your work (All sales are between the artist and buyer only). Your work shall remain on display throughout the Expo with removal to be made between 5-7 p.m. on Saturday.

All entries must have a pinball theme.
