The Sounds and Sights Festival will hold its fourth Chelsea Chalk Art Contest during its line of activities on Saturday, July 30.
Participants of all abilities and ages are encouraged to help transform the concrete below the iconic Chelsea Clocktower, located at 310 North Main St., into vibrant colors and works of art from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m.
Chelsea Area Festivals and Events will present prizes up to $500 in four categories, and spectators will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite piece of chalk art in four categories.
A “People’s Choice” award will be presented to a first place, and second place winner in each category: $500 first place and $250 second place prizes for Adult Artist (ages 19+), $250 first place and $125 second place prizes for Group, $100 first place and $50 second place prizes for Youth (ages 12-18 years), $20 first place and $10 second place prizes for Children (ages 2-11 years).
