Submissions for the Artist Series RFID Card Contest closed September 30. Here's how the contest works and what artists were asked to submit.

How It Works

Utah artists submitted original artwork through an online form. Our staff reviewed every entry and narrowed the field to the Top 5 finalists featured above. The public casts their votes on social media to choose the winning design, and once the winner is announced, their artwork goes into production on the Artist Series RFID Card.

Who Can Enter

The contest was open to Utah-based artists. Each artist could submit up to 2 pieces, and there was no cost to enter.

Design Guidelines

We wanted to see real range and creativity in any medium and any style, including:

• Painting: watercolor, gouache, acrylic, oil, ink wash
• Drawing: pen & ink/line art, charcoal, colored pencil
• Digital: illustration, vector/flat design, pixel art
• Textural: collage, mixed media, block print/linocut, screen print, textile-inspired
• Photography or photo-illustration
• Abstract or geometric/pattern-based work

The Snowbasin logo or Sun icon was not required, but artists were encouraged to draw inspiration from the mountains and capture the Snowbasin spirit.

AI-generated artwork was not accepted.
