Local and regional artists are invited to submit work for the Town of Blacksburg 2008 Calendar, which will celebrate the invaluable services of public safety officials in our town (Blacksburg Volunteer Fire Department, Blacksburg Volunteer Rescue Squad, and Blacksburg Police.)

This is a wonderful opportunity to honor the staff and volunteers who daily make the commitment to preserve Blacksburg’s health, safety, and welfare. The calendar is distributed to over 5000 citizens and visitors each year, making your work accessible to a wide audience. Artists are invited to submit up to three samples of work for consideration.

Work should reflect the daily contributions of the public safety workers and their community impact. We ask that submissions be suitable for all viewing audiences.
