Fallbrook Propane Gas Company seeks artists

FALLBROOK – Fallbrook Propane Gas Company, sponsor of the Art of the Avocado Art Competition, is now calling for entries. This year marks the 16th year that the art competition has been part of Fallbrook's annual Avocado Festival.

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 in each: first place – $300, second place – $200, and third place – $100. In the photography category, the cash prizes awarded are first place – $150, second place – $100, and third place – $75.

Additional cash prize awards are the Merrill Everett Memorial Award, Holy Guaca-Moly Award, George Bamber Memorial Award, Honorary Mayor Award and the Avocado Chairman Award. Awards will be presented at a private reception.

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 2023 Avocado Festival logo.

Entries should be delivered to the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce office, Saturday, March 26 from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., located at 111 South Main Ave.

The community is invited to vote for the People's Choice Award during the month of April at the Fallbrook Chamber of Commerce office as well as the day of the Avocado Festival, April 24. The winner will be notified that evening.
