Poster Contest – 

New Look

Same Great Festival

 

Key West Songwriters Festival recently sought the help of the online artist community Creative Allies in creating a new festival poster. A Contest was set up and after many great submissions a winner was chosen… We proudly announce and congratulate  JOSH GIBSON for his creation.

Josh is a freelance graphic designer from Roanoke, Virginia. His love of music and art made his talents a perfect fit for a Creative Allies contest.

Josh says his inspiration was the beauty of Key West’s sunrises and sunsets along with the free and serene feeling of being on the water.

Congratulations once again Josh, see you in Key West for the Fest!
