Statewide search for best Tejano Art for Tejano Heritage Month
The month of
September has been officially designated Tejano Heritage Month by Gov. Rick
Perry and 2012 marks the ninth anniversary of this designation. Beginning with
the month of March (the officially recognized Texas History Month), Texas
Tejano.com will be holding a statewide Poster Contest that is open to all adult
(18-years-of-age and older) artists.
“TexasTejano.com’s main mission has always been about
bringing awareness and education about the true lives and legacies of our
Tejano forefathers to all Texans,” says Rudi R. Rodriguez, President and Founder
of Texas Tejano.com. “We felt this contest was just another way of getting that
message across. Also, it will create what we hope will be a fun and festive
memento of this occasion and will help create an additional circumstance that
marks what we are creating with Tejano Heritage Month.”
Last year’s winner was artist Dina Cortez of
San Antonio. This year, Judges will select one (1) winner who will receive a
$500 prize and will be honored at a special ceremony during Tejano Heritage
Month. The contest has been extended until Friday, August 3, 2012 and all
entries must be received in the office at that time. Rules are listed below and
will also be made available at www.TexasTejano.com. For more information, contact
Texas Tejano.com at (210) 673-3584.
This year's Tejano Heritage Month Poster
Contest is sponsored by the Hispanic Heritage Center of Texas and Valero Energy
Corporation.
