Calling SoBo artists and makers of all kinds! Here’s a chance to share your talents and win prizes.
Our first-ever “SoBo Arts & Crafts Show and Contest” will showcase your creations, from painted rocks and painted screens to hand-crafted jewelry and Lego sculptures. (SoBo photographers: Please hold onto your best shots for our 3rd annual SoBo Photo Show & Contest later this year.)
If you live on the South Baltimore peninsula and you’ve made something awesome, this show is for you. Enter to participate, and your creation will be considered for display at “I Love SoBo Day” on May 4. All entries will be in the running for People’s Choice awards and will be included in a Peninsula Post blog post after the event.
To enter, complete the online proposal form between March 1 and 31. See Contest Rules below for details.
The top three entries selected by voting at SoBo Day will receive People’s Choice award ribbons. The First Place entry will also receive a $100 Cash Prize.
