AROOSTOOK COUNTY, Maine — The people behind the #MaineReunited art contest are extending the submission deadline in hopes of encouraging more Aroostook County artists to showcase their talents.
Lights Out Art Consulting, an online-based business, recently launched #MaineReunited in several rural communities across Maine. They are now focused on Aroostook County and have extended their deadline for submissions from Feb. 18 to Feb. 28.
The #MaineReunited Aroostook County Art Contest will award $1,000 prizes in three categories: an Adult Award, Youth Award and People’s Choice Award. All submissions will be featured on the Lights Out Art Consulting Facebook page. Viewers can vote for the People’s Choice Award by liking the post that features their favorite work of art.
Lights Out plans to announce the winners by March 28. All three winners will be featured on the Facebook page with short videos of them explaining their inspirations. Lights Out plans to host a celebration of the award winners in Presque Isle in April, with the exact date and location to be determined.
A full list of contest guidelines and Aroostook-based judges can be found on the Lights Out website.
