Poster Contest
The Historic Irvington Community Council (HICC) requests proposals for a poster to commemorate the Historic Irvington Halloween Festival. The poster should represent and reflect the spirit and essence of this event. Entries may be created using a variety of different mediums: painting, drawing, and illustration. Please use a medium that will translate effectively into a graphic reproduction. The 1st place art will be utilized as the poster image for the IHF and available for sale before, during and after the Festival.

Window Painting Contest
If you grew up as a kid in Irvington, then chances are you at some point painted windows for the Halloween Festival. Now that some of us are older, we have the same opportunity to pass along this tradition to our children. And for those adults who still enjoy painting the windows, don’t worry, we’ve got an adult category too.
2011 results can be found here.
