There will be a $100 cash prize awarded for our “Audience Choice.” All day long, the thousands of festival attendees can walk along the trail and watch the artists’ progress and vote early for their favorite. Artists can paint whatever they choose, in whatever medium and size, as long as the subject relates to or can be seen from the Ocmulgee Heritage Trail.
