Ants can weaken plants' internal structures, making them more susceptible to damage from other pests and the elements.
FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Propane Gas Company, sponsor of the Art of the Avocado Art Competition is calling for entries. This year the contest celebrates its 15th anniversary. In celebration of this milestone, organizers couldn't let any more time go by. It was canceled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Any artistic medium may be submitted – the only restriction is that an avocado must be easily identifiable in all pieces.
There are three categories including 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional with cash prizes awarded: first place – $300, second place – $200 and third place – $100. The photography category is limited to the first 10 registered entries – one entry per artist – with one cash prize – $100.
The Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce will award a prize for their "Chamber Pick" and the winner of this award will be invited to design a piece of artwork that will be used in the 2022 Avocado Festival logo.
Additional cash prize awards are the Merrill Everett Memorial Award, Holy Guaca-Moly Award and the George Bamber Memorial Award. Awards will be announced Saturday, April 17. A reception will be determined at a later date, pending COVID-19 restrictions.
Things will look a little different this year. Entries can be hand-delivered or mailed.
If an artist chooses to hand-deliver their artwork, entries should be delivered to the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce office Friday, March 26, or Saturday, March 27 – with COVID-19 guidelines followed: masks required, social distancing and paperwork already filled out. Artists may enter any previous piece of artwork, as long as it did not win an award.
Artwork can also be delivered by mail and must be received by Friday, March 26.
Mail to Fallbrook Propane Gas Company, 1561 South Mission Avenue, Fallbrook CA 92028. The artist must agree to pay for return postage, or they can pick up the artwork, Saturday, April 24.
The entries in the competition will be on display at the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce office, 111 South Main Ave., from April 1-23.
