The Fairy House Artist Invitational is one of two ways for artists to participate in the Fairy Festival. Although the entire community is invited to participate by building house for the Fairy House Walk, the invitational will showcase the work of creative professionals who can model an exemplary and imaginative use of the natural materials.
The competition will be limited to 15 fairy house submissions by creative professionals and will be judged by community judges. Entries will be judged based on their use of the natural materials and on creativity, ingenuity and imagination.
