Three logos submitted by North Shore Artists have been chosen by judges as finalists in Marblehead Festival of Arts Logo Contest.

Voting by the public will happen from Nov. 22 through Dec. 14. The winner with the most votes will have their logo used on all 50th Festival printed material and logo products sold during the Marblehead Festival of Arts in July 2015.

Voting for the public’s favorite logo will happen in Marblehead at the Arnould Gallery, Acorn Gallery, the Landing Restaurant, the Marblehead Arts Association, Warwick Place, Marblehead Bank, National Grand Bank, Shubies, Abbot Public Library, Marblehead Community Center, Marblehead/Swampscott YMCA, the JCC, Atomic Café and the Artisan’s Market at Abbot Hall during Christmas Walk Weekend.

The winning artist will be introduced and honored during a Logo Preview party at the Landing Restaurant on Jan. 20, 2015. The public is invited to come and celebrate the winner, where they can see the new logo and view logo products from the past. Some of the logo items will be available to purchase on the web site, www.marbleheadfestival.org.
