The annual ArtPop competition is seeking to place the work of local artists on available billboards throughout the region. ArtPop works with local arts councils and media companies to promote local artists and give them a voice, create public street galleries and energize residents' commutes.

ArtPop Poconos is open to local artists living or working in Monroe, Pike, Wayne, Lackawanna and Luzerne counties and the Slate Belt area of Northampton County. Artists should send a high-resolution digital file of the work they wish to submit, following the guidelines below. Five artists will be chosen.The deadline is Nov. 30.
