Pleasure Island Seafood Blues & Jazz Festival ~ October 11-12, 2014

Time is growing short, but there is still time to submit your entry for your vision to convey BLUES & JAZZ, in an outstanding artistic form.  We hold a Poster Design Contest to allow the artist within to express the Seafood Blues & Jazz feel, the BUZZ, the modaz.
