PROSSER — Organizers of the Prosser Wine and Food Fair have announced one of the event’s annual harbingers — the artwork contest.

Each year, those who stage the 31st annual celebration of local food and wine accept submissions for artwork to use in brochures, programs and advertisements, as well as the annual collectible poster.

The Wine and Food Fair will pay $250 to the selected artist for the rights to the piece.

Deadline for submissions is Feb. 24. The Wine and Food Fair is scheduled from 2 to 8 p.m. Aug. 11 at the Walter Clore Wine and Culinary Center.
