2024 Concert on the Green Poster Art Competition

Rules and Submission Guidelines for COG Poster Contest
The annual Concert on the Green Poster Contest is an excellent opportunity for students and
their art programs. Winning students will receive a scholarship award and their work will be
displayed on our website.

When submitting a poster for our contest, make sure that your art follows the theme and is
sized properly. Be sure to ask your art teacher for help or feedback when designing your
poster.

public, private or home schools and those who attend a school outside Clay County as long as
they reside in Clay County.  Students can be chosen as the first-place winner more than once,
but not in consecutive years.

Theme: The theme of the poster contest for Grades 4-6 th is “COCOA & CAROLS”. Concert on
the Green - through Cocoa & Carols- is supporting student vocalists and instrumentalists by
offering a chance to perform live in front of thousands of Clay County residents and visitors in
a beautiful backdrop behind Moosehaven on River Road in Orange Park, Florida. We are
looking for exciting art that we can use to promote this event, and the winning art will be
used for this purpose. This event is now held in December of each year.

For poster contestants Grades 7-12, the theme is “Building Community through the Arts”
which is a tagline Concert on the Green uses in communications. For this competition, we are
looking for dynamic yet simple ways to express this tagline, and the contest is to help us
illustrate the unifying power and joy music and art bring to our community.
