Artists are invited to participate in the fifth annual art competition of the Hotchkiss Sheep Camp Stock Dog Trials. Previous winners of the TDS Shepherd’s Award include Virginia Blackstock of Hotchkiss, Mary Farmer of Hotchkiss, Kimmer High-Jepson of Grand Junction, and in 2009 there were two winners—Betty Jo McKinney of Crawford and Sherry Cobb of Delta.

There are a couple of changes to the 2010 art competition. Artists should submit their artwork to the Hotchkiss-Crawford Historical Society Museum on Saturday, Feb. 27 between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Out of town artists may also enter the competition by shipping their artwork. In addition to the $500 Shepherd’s Award, prizes will also be given to first place $200, second place $100, third place $75 and a People’s Choice Award of $100. Winners will be announced on Saturday, March 6 at an Artists’ Reception at the museum.

For the third year, TDS Telecommunications is our exclusive sponsor of the Shepherd’s Award and this winning artwork will be used to promote the 2010 Hotchkiss Sheep Camp Stock Dog Trials on Mother’s Day weekend, May 7, 8 and 9 on posters and T-shirts.
