HUMASON ANNOUNCES SENIOR CITIZEN HOLIDAY CARD CONTEST
Don Humason, Jr., Westfield's State Representative, announces the 13th Annual Senior Citizens Artistic Interpretation of the State House Holiday Card Contest. It is sponsored by the Secretary of the Commonwealth and is open to all citizens age 62 and over. The deadline for entries is July 1, 2009. Entries must be mailed or delivered to the Attention of Dolores McCray, Commonwealth Museum at Columbia Point, 220 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston MA 02125. In order for artwork to be displayed on our web site each entry must include a signed authorization form. Artists are responsible for retrieving their artwork from the Commonwealth Museum at or after the awards presentation. The date of the exhibit will be determined later due to the museum renovation. The theme of the 2009 contest is "Celebrating the December Holiday at the State House." Entries will be accepted from both amateur and professional artists. All entries will be exhibited at the Commonwealth Museum. Professional artists will judge the entries. All mediums of art are acceptable (oil, watercolor, ink, pastels, etc.) The size requirements are a minimum of 5" x 7" and a maximum of 18" x 24". If an artist is unable to mat and frame their entry, we will provide matting using basic materials. Please print name, address and telephone number and medium on the back of the artwork. This year two winning cards will be reproduced and sold at the State House Gift Cart with the artist's name printed on the card. The office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth will retain ownership rights to the artwork only as a card. An Affirmation of Award will be presented to the winning artists in late autumn. Authorization forms and other information can be found at the district office of Representative Don Humason, 64 Noble Street, Westfield, phone number 568-1366.
