Urban Sightings Fabric Contest Finalists - Vote for your favorites!

Our contest this week is an unusual one for a couple of reasons. First, we're inviting you to vote for a collection of juried fabric designs, which is a change from our generally inclusive approach to contests. The 45 designs up for voting were selected as finalists by judges from the Textile Center in Minneapolis from a pool of 236 entries. All of the fabrics were inspired by one or more of six photos taken in and around the Prospect Park neighborhood in Minneapolis, MN, where a  new light rail line is being constructed through the center of the neighborhood. The Textile Center plans to exhibit the top ten fabrics in its gallery to celebrate the art that can be found in everyday surroundings and the daily transition of the neighborhood landscape during this large construction project. One winner, selected by curators of the gallery, will receive a free, copy of Photoshop, and all of the top ten will receive $50 in Spoondollar credit!
