Dewey Memorial Hall Announces Draw the Hall Contest
SHEFFIELD, Mass. — Dewey Memorial Hall is seeking submissions for stylized depictions of the historic hall.
The hall has been drawn many times over the 130 years since it has been built, mostly highly detailed pen and ink drawings. The deadline to enter is Oct. 31, 2022.

“We are looking for a new image that is much simpler and cleaner. We thought it would be fun to have a contest. JWS Art Supplies is providing a $200 gift card as a prize, which should make the contest appealing to artists of all ages,” Dewey Hall Board President Beth Carlson said.
Previous drawings of Dewey Memorial Hall have been highly detailed pen and ink drawings, which Carlson says "are lovely but don’t reproduce well". The winning image may be used for a new logo and Dewey Hall custom merchandise. The contest rules include many mediums—the main requirement is for a simplified conceptual image which focuses on planes, angles, and shapes instead of fine details.
Contest guidelines are as follows:
-Pen and ink drawings
-Paintings
-Woodcuts
-Screen Prints
-Digital Art
-Any medium supporting an effective streamlined design
