The South Dakota State Fair is introducing a new contest inviting people to share their creative talents and help decorate the South Dakota State Fair. Now through Aug. 11, participants can pick up trash cans from the South Dakota State Fair office to paint with themes related to the fair, 4-H, FFA, or agriculture. Cash prizes will be awarded to first, second, and third place finishers.
The trash cans will be judged on Sept. 1, based on visual appeal and creativity. The first-place winner will receive $100, second place will receive $50, and third place will receive $25.
Entries can be made as a group or as an individual. All entries must be entirely paint based. No paper or 3D art will be allowed. The trash cans must be returned to the South Dakota State Fair by Aug. 18.
Official rules and the registration form can be found on sdstatefair.com.
