Fun Foodie Art and Competition on Etsy

"Etsy artists: light the creative fires! We've got an opportunity for the food lovers in the house".
"As you know, we're very excited about the upcoming Good Food Awards. GFA is also hosting their first annual Poster Design Competition and three winning designs will be on prominent display during Good Food Month, an extended celebration of artisan foods to be held throughout January in hundreds of venues around the Bay Area.
If this piques your curiosity, here’s what you need to do. Pick one of the themes — cheese and preserves, chocolate and coffee, or charcuterie and pickles — or submit to all three. Brainstorm. Snack. Ideally, do these simultaneously. Then create an original design according to the specifications. The deadline is October 1st, and entrants will be notified by October 30th.
What’s to gain? Winning designs will be featured in restaurants, grocery stores (including Whole Foods), galleries, bookstore windows and on the Good Food Awards website. The designs will be the main event posters for Good Food Month, each representing one of the themed weeks. Additional edible rewards include a basket of treats from celebrated local Good Food producers that match your poster theme, and two tickets to the Good Food Awards Marketplace.
In spirit of the competition, we searched Etsy for talented food illustrators — and it came as no surprise that we found an ample supply with a great variety of styles. Feast your eyes on these yummy interpretations and let them inspire your own!"

(I also am really digging the food art that is for sale on Etsy, check em out!)
