CONTEST DETAILS
While creativity is encouraged, that the contest will not accept designs considered to be confrontational, offensive, or political in nature. Scarecrows should be family friendly and the City of Oaks Foundation reserves the right to accept or reject any design
The City of Oaks Foundation cannot guarantee that scarecrows will not be damaged by weather, animals, or other circumstances, and I hold the Foundation harmless for any damage to my scarecrow.
The City of Oaks Foundation will be the final authority on awarding any prizes in the contest, and for selecting the prizes. Prizes are for recognition only and will likely have only nominal value.
Designers may pick up their scarecrows anytime, after providing notification to the City of Oaks Foundation. After the end of the event, designers will be notified by the Foundation to pick up their scarecrows. Scarecrows not claimed more than 7 days after the event may be discarded.
Space for scarecrows is limited and that once a certain number of entries are received, the Foundation may not be able to accept additional entries.
After receiving a confirmation of registration from the Foundation, designers may deliver scarecrows to 2431 W. Lake Drive (Joslin Garden) and leave it on the front porch before noon on October 31st (Halloween).
Designers should take a picture of their scarecrow and email it to the Foundation at info@cityofoaksfoundation.org with their contact information to match up everyone to their entry.
