Holland Farmers Market Extends Deadline for 2025 Poster Design Contest 

Holland, MI – The Holland Farmers Market has extended the deadline for its annual Poster Design Contest! Both amateur and professional artists and designers ages 16 and up are invited to submit designs for the contest by Friday, March 28 for a chance at winning a $500 cash prize. The winning design will be printed on posters and merchandise used to promote the 2025 season of the Market. The Holland Farmers Market Poster Design Contest is proudly sponsored Fris Supply Shop in Downtown Holland.

“On behalf of our entire team at Fris Supply Shop, we’re excited to be able to sponsor the Holland Farmers Market’s Poster Design Contes again this year,” said Fris Supply Shop owner Andrew Fris. “It's a great way to get the art community involved and a fun way to be able to promote the Holland Farmers Market."

The winning artwork will be chosen by the Holland Farmers Market staff and the contest sponsor, and will be printed on posters, tote bags, stickers, mugs, and magnets. The merchandise will be available for purchase at the Holland Farmers Market and at Fris Supply Shop when the Market opens for the 2025 season on Wednesday, May 14. Proceeds from merchandise purchases will help benefit programming at the Holland Farmers Market.

Artwork submissions will be accepted through Friday, March 28. A non-refundable $10 entry fee is required, though artists may submit two different designs for the $10 entry fee. The winner of the Poster Design Contest will receive a $500 cash prize, a gift card to Fris Supply Shop, and complimentary merchandise featuring their winning design. A second place "People's Choice" design will be chosen through votes on the Holland Farmers Market Facebook page. The second-place winner will receive $100 in Market Bucks (gift certificates to the Holland Farmers Market,) and a gift card to Fris Supply Shop.

Artwork should reflect the mission of the Holland Farmers Market, which is to connect the surrounding community with high-quality local food while supporting the livelihoods of our farmers and vendors. The Market also aims to educate the community on the local food system, while making healthy food accessible for all in a welcoming atmosphere. Any produce or goods included in the artwork must reflect Michigan grown and made goods that can be found at the Market. Designers must be 16 years or older and be a current resident of the State of Michigan. Anyone under the age of 18 must have parental consent to participate in the contest as indicated below.
