“ALL FIRED UP ON MAIN”
Fire Hydrant Painting Contest Rules
The design should be appropriate for a public space and should not endorse an individual, business, be political in nature, or be offensive in any way.
Potential design themes include:
• Designs inspired by the work of famous artists;
• Designs with a whimsical or humorous twist that will make viewers smile;
• Context-sensitive designs that would uniquely connect a particular fire hydrant with its immediate surroundings;
• Colorful, abstract designs.
The fire hydrant should be kept clean and neat when not directly working
Registration and selection runs September 1, 2014 through May 1, 2015. All proposed designs must be submitted for approval during this period. Selected applicants will be notified.
 Painting of fire hydrants can begin as soon as proposal has been approved
 Only designated fire hydrants within the Main Street area are potential candidates for painting.
 The MAAC will not provide brushes and paint for decorating the fire hydrants although funding requests may be added as part of your proposal
 Paint only on the assigned fire hydrant.
 You must use only the paint the hydrants. Nothing can be attached to the fire hydrant.
 If words are included in your design, all words are to be in English only.
 You may use stencils, air brush with masking tape, or freehand your design.
You must stick to the design submitted in this application. If you desire to make changes, you must seek the arts council’s approval prior to changing your design.
If rules are not followed your hydrant will be painted over.
Fire hydrants that fall into a state that no longer enhance the immediate area will be painted over. For example, a hydrant that begins to peel or otherwise deteriorate.
