Dumpster project seeks designs
The Dumpster Beautification Project is looking for new ideas.
Artists who would like to see their work displayed on a dumpster can download a template from the DBP Facebook page. Designs should be simple, bold, visible on a dark blue background and should wrap around all four sides of the dumpster.
Send completed designs to DBP, 441 Birket Drive, Durango, CO 81301 or email artfire@mydurango.net.
Five designs will be chosen to be painted on dumpsters in summer 2015, and selected artists will be awarded $50 in prize money. The deadline is March 31.

A prospectus and entry form are available at http://blackcanyoncameraclub.org. A limit of 200 entries will be accepted. An early registration discount is available until March 15.
Awards will be presented to the photographers at the judge’s reception on April 24.
