Neodesha Designer lends Artistic Talents to
Neewollah As 2008 Festival Logo Winner
‘Welcome to Our Town’ is the theme of the artwork which will herald Neewollah this fall. The Neewollah Logo Committee announced that the winner of the 2008 Neewollah Logo Contest is DeeAnne Tigner, of Neodesha, Kansas.
Tigner's friendly purple and orange depiction of the happy ghost and pumpkin will serve as the official welcome to Neewollah. The art will be prominently displayed on advertisements, banners, t-shirts, programs and official Neewollah merchandise.
"There were so many wonderful entries, it made the judging difficult,” stated Jeff Shaw, Logo Committee Chair. "We were drawn to DeeAnne’s work because it seemed to best capture the spirit and joy of our annual celebration.”
A native of Neodesha, Tigner confessed that she began attending the Neewollah celebration as a child which helped her with her family-friendly art theme.
As the winner of the 2008 Neewollah Logo contest, DeeAnne will receive a $100.00 cash prize.
A graduate of Neodesha High School, she attended Pittsburg State University where she earned her degree in graphic design. In her free time, she enjoys playing tennis and basketball, painting, gardening, baking, spending time with friends and family, and volunteering for community events.
She and her husband, Bill, hosted their first exchange student last year, a youth from Germany, and they are excited about hosting again for the 2008-09 school year.
Thank you Dee for sharing your talent and kicking off the 2008 Neewollah season!
