A quick update from the head tomato, Meg MacFadyen:

Well, folks, this was a real knuckle biter of a contest!

I had to count and recount because it was so close, but in the end the official winner of the tomato bumper sticker contest is……

“EAST NASHVILLE, GETTING SAUCIER EVERY SUMMER!”

Congratulations! Tia Thomason, you are the winner of the following prizes:

  • An I Dream of Weenie hot dog
  • A sneauxball from the Jolly Rogue
  • AND a bumper sticker with YOUR WORDS on it!

Really, this is like the tomato Oscars, if you ask me!

Now, because it was such a close contest I am going to try and print some of the other great ideas that almost won. As a runner up, each person listed will receive the tomato bumper sticker of their choice!

Here they are, and I hope to get at least one (if not all three) printed:

2. “I (picture of a tomato) East Nashville” (Congratulations! James Vavra & WRYKER for submitting this idea…you deserve a prize!)
3. “East Nashville…Eat, Drink, and Tomato” (Congratulations! sarahmclowe@gmail.com you are a winner!)
4. “You Say Tomato, I Say East Nashville!” (Congratulations to Katherine Falk, Eric Jans, and Seth Brown who all had this great idea!)

I received several very wonderful ideas after the deadline, so it looks like next year’s contest is already underway….

Thanks for playing everyone!

Tomato Art Fest bumper stickers will be available at the Tomato Art Fest.
