Remember that scene in the movie American President when Michael Douglas’ presidential character, Andrew Sheperd, goes back and forth with the flower shop about dogwoods being both a flower and a tree.

Well, that’s true. They are both a flower and a tree. You can throw them together into artwork that could become the next design concept for the 2012 Dogwood Festival. The festival is taking submissions for a winning concept for their marketing campaign.

The are no design parameters except the design must incorporate the text, “2012 Dogwood Festival of the Lewis-Clark Valley”. Artists can decide to add this text into their submission or allow a Dogwood Festival graphics artist add it in later.
