The Denver Post Pedal the Plains Bicycle Tour is calling all artists to be a part of the 5th annual Poster Art Challenge! We’re looking for one artistic poster to represent the 2016 Pedal The Plains Bicycle Tour. The winning poster will be sold at the event.
The poster contest winner will receive a bike donated from Project ReCycle, a framed poster courtesy of Frame de Art and recognition of their poster across all Pedal The Plains social media networks and website. A portion of the proceeds for every poster sold will be donated to the winner’s charity of choice.
One of our most popular features from the past 15 years - a full-page color photo on the front of the Kiowa County Press showing various impressions of life in Kiowa County. While a limited number of copies continue to be printed and distributed each week at Kiowa Healthmart, COOP C-Store in Eads, Haswell Propane, and Thunderbird Petroleum, we wanted to bring this feature to our online readers as well.
