Fall Fair poster takes 1st Place at provincial level competition It takes skill to create an outstanding poster. The poster must convey the feeling and heart of the event it represents, it requires a pleasing aesthetic, and it must stand out from the rest. Kimberly Evans seems to have found this secret recipe and created an award winning poster for the 2014 Shelburne Fall Fair. Taking first place at the local level, her poster went on to receive accolades from the Ontario Association of Agricultural Societies (OAAS), claiming another 1st place, an earning Evans (and the Shelburne Fall Fair) provincial recognition. In the summer of 2014, the Shelburne Free Press hosted and judges a competition for the official Fall Fair poster. Evans submitted a beauty, and took first place locally. Her poster then went on for judging by the OAAS – a provincial body, that receives a multitude of submissions annually – and won yet again. Taking 1st Place in the Adult category, Evans was presented with a red ribbon and $40! (She also took home $15 in Shelburne for her winning entry). The Shelburne Fall Fair committee plans to host the poster competition once again in 2015. Posters will be displayed at the Free Press office, and our staff will act as judges. Posters must be two denominational (with no moving parts) and represent the best the Fall Fair has to offer. On her black and white, and busy, poster, Evans has this to say, “I managed to get a lot on it. I chose an older ‘typesetting' look for the font, in keeping with the history of the Fall Fair itself, and I made sure that ‘Shelburne' and ‘Fall Fair' were prominently displayed. It took Evans several days to create the digital poster, created on her home computer, and she admits that several “tweaks” were needed before she was happy with the finished product. On why she thinks she won overall, Evans said, “It's just a fun fluke, really! But I hope my win shows that anyone has a chance to win, and that we'll receive more submissions this year!” Look to the Free Press, your Shelburne Fall Fair supporter, for up to date information – including more information on the 2015 Poster Competition – as it becomes available.
