Dylan
Days Visual Art Contest
Bob
Dylan
inspired two generations of musicians and songwriters, and continues to
influence emerging writers, performers and artists. Each year a visual
arts
contest is held during Dylan Days in Hibbing, Minn.
– Bob Dylan’s hometown –
around the time of Dylan’s birthday.

kind of art?

safe
to
display in public for a few days. Art can be related to Dylan or his
music, but
is open to all subjects. Judges
