Friends of Xenia Station to Sponsor Xenia’s First Annual Junked Bike Art Competition

The Friends of Xenia Station are sponsoring Xenia’s First Annual Junked Bike Art Competition as part of the 2014 Xenia Community Festival.

Artists of all ages, whether as an individual or as a group, are asked to take an unused, old bike and turn it into a fun, quirky, fancy, beautiful, fascinating piece of art. These bikes will be displayed during the Xenia Community Festival at Shawnee Park on Friday, September 19th, from 4PM to 9PM, and Saturday, September 20th, from 10AM to 9PM.

Festival goers will vote for their favorite work of art, with a Grand Prize of $100 being awarded to the work voted Best of Show. First, Second, and Third place winners all receive a one-year Friends of Xenia Station membership.

Interested persons need to submit an “Intent to Participate” form with the required $25 entry fee for each submission by August 15, 2014. Finished bikes will need to be delivered to Xenia Station Bike Hub, 150 South Miami Avenue, on Saturday, September 6 between 11:00 AM and 1:00 PM. Contact FOXS at (937) 376-1080 to make alternative delivery arrangements.
