Mt. Bachelor is hosting a contest that does require any running, biking, or skiing.
This contest by the resort is all about art.
The mountain is looking for an artist to create a winter themed mural that reflects Mt. Bachelor’s community of skiers, riders, and mountain lovers.
Mt. Bachelor says its open to different interpretations of the winter theme, but really hopes some local artists apply.
“Bend has such an incredible, thriving art scene that we feel like it’s a perfect opportunity for us to work with the local artist and create a mural that people can get really excited about,” said Lauren Burke, director of marketing and communications. “A place where you can take a photo in front of and really be representative of the energy and the feel of how special Mt. Bachelor is in the winter.”
The artist chosen will have their work showcased in Mt. Bachelor’s West Village and will receive a $5,000 prize. Cost of art materials is also covered.
Artists are encouraged to submit their ideas to Mt. Bachelor by Sept. 6. The resort will pick three finalists, then its up to the public to choose the winner.
