KELSEYVILLE – The winners for the Kelseyville Olive Festival Poster Contest have been chosen.

A private judging by local professional artists was held at the Main Street Gallery in Lakeport on Tuesday to determine the winners of the Kelseyville Olive Festival Poster Contest.

The all-ages contest brought in 33 entries which were judged for their originality, creativity, depiction of the theme and execution of art.

Steven Sprague's entry from Mr. Mac's Third Grade Class at Kelseyville Elementary School was chosen as the winner for the child age group, and Pat Courtney's entry was chosen as the winning adult entry and as the grand prize winner, which will be used as next year's olive festival poster.

Both winners will receive a cash prize along with art supplies donated by Mendo-Lake Office Products and a gift certificate to LuLu's Ice Cream and Desserts in Kelseyville.

Selected entries and the winning posters will be on display at the Kelseyville Olive Festival, Sunday March 21, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Kelseyville Olive Mill, 5625 Gaddy Lane in Kelseyville, across from the Post Office.
