Czech Village/New Bohemia
Urban Main Street Logo Contest

The Czech Village/New Bohemia Main Street Board announces a major contest to design a new and compelling log for this Iowa Department of Economic Development Main Street non-profit organization.

Main Street is looking for a corporate and professional logo that will encompass the character of the Czech Village/New Bohemia Main Street program. It should be creative, professional and represent the unique character of the district. Remember, simplicity is better than complexity. Colors should be limited to three.

A panel of Main Street Board Members and associates will judge entries. The winner will receive $500.00 in cash and $500.00 in gift certificates from district businesses.

Entry Deadline was April 5th, 2010.
