ONB Magic City Art Connection this weekend!

mccThis year the ONB Magic City Art Connection (MCAC) is celebrating 26 years. It will take place April 24 – 26 at Linn Park in downtown Birmingham, going from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. each day.

For those not familiar with MCAC, it is a free contemporary art festival that will showcase more than 200 exhibiting artists, children’s art activities, music, food and other great events.

If you join their Facebook group you can find out about their Twitter contest, where they are giving away tickets for their prestigious Corks and Chefs food and wine tasting event that will be held during the festival (a $30 value).

Get into downtown and check out lots of great art this weekend!

Crawfish Boil uses Facebook for t-shirt contest

The Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil is turning to the power of Facebook to help them select their t-shirt design for this year’s event. For those of you not on Facebook yet, or not following the event’s page on the social networking site, here’s the 411:

Beginning today (and through April 10), people are encouraged to submit one submission (not already submitted to another contest) with the words “2009 Schaeffer Eye Center Crawfish Boil” somewhere in the design, to the event’s page on Facebook using its “add photos” function. the design must be in a vector format, meaning you’ll want to download this software. Apparently all of the designs will be eligible to be printed as “regular” t-shirts, but the winning design will be the one that receives the most **VOTE** comments.

 The winning designer will receive a pair of VIP passes ($300 value); a gift certificate to the Merrell Store at The Summit & 6-month supply of vitaminwater sync.

If you’re interested, and on Facebook, head on over!
