Would you like your craft seen by large, high-end audiences?

We are looking for professional photos of strong, dynamic craft to feature in our Fair promotions! These marketing pieces include our Fair postcard, rack card, billboards, and program guide cover. Work should have movement, texture, and color. To be considered for the program guide cover, photos need to be a minimum of 11" high at 300dpi (~8MB). All Fair participants are welcome to submit images!

Examples of Fair Marketing

Digital Billboard located on I-95 Northbound between exits 2 and 3; delivering over 127K impressions per week; important tourist travel corridor between Massachusetts and Maine

Things to Avoid*

• Don't use a hard light source (Soft lighting will almost always give the best results.)

• Don't crop your craft
• Always ensure your craft is in focus!

• Only include your craft in the photo
