Statewide search for best Tejano Art for Tejano Heritage Month

2012 – Texas Tejano.com, a San Antonio-based research and publishing company is pleased to announce today that they will be conducting a statewide search for the best example of Tejano art to be used in the production of the official poster for this year’s Tejano Heritage Month celebrations!
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.
