TETON VALLEY, Idaho — The Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival is already in the planning stages and a search is on for the winning design to be featured on the event poster.

The Greater Yellowstone Crane Festival is held to celebrate the annual migration of Sandhill Cranes through Teton Valley. This year’s festival will be on September 20-23.

Teton Regional Land Trust, on behalf of the festival, is seeking area artists to submit original poster designs for the annual poster design contest. The artwork that is chosen will be printed on posters as well as merchandise such as stickers, hats, T-shirts, sweaters and totes. The winning artist will be awarded $250 and will receive a framed copy of the poster as well as several souvenir items featuring their work. This year’s submission window is open until 5 p.m. on April 10.

Artists are invited to submit original artwork and are encouraged to sign their work. The artwork must be vertical or square, not horizontal.
