The Prize: The person who receives the most votes will receive up to $15 off  of their bus trip to New York City.

The Guidelines:

  • You may submit a maximum of 2 posters
  • Posters must be 16×20
  • Be 300 dpi
  • Have the holiday name on each poster
  • Must be submitted NO LATER THAN MIDNIGHT on Tuesday September 29th
  • Illustrator is preferred, but Photoshop is acceptable as well, as long as all guidelines are met
