EATING LOCAL IS NOT ONLY LESS EXPENSIVE TO AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT IT STIMULATES THE LOCAL ECONOMY AND IS ACTUALLY HEALTHIER FOR YOU.

As a restaurant that supports sustainable efforts to reduce economic, social and environmental burdens, Local 11 Ten teams up with the SCAD Sustainability Council and offers Savannah College of Art and Design students the opportunity to promote Savannah’s local farmers and producers through the “Eat Local Savannah” Poster Competition.

Beginning Monday, April 6 and continuing until Friday, May 8, SCAD students who are currently enrolled in classes and recent winter quarter graduates can submit competition artwork to a link on the restaurant website, www.local11ten.com. On May 11, Local 11 Ten will post three posters to the website and a link for community members to vote for their favorite design.

Contestants may use whatever means possible, including social media groups, event boards and blog posts to drive viewers to vote online. Local 11 Ten will host a reception on May 27th from 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. to announce the winning design and official “Eat Local Savannah” poster. The winning designer will take home $150 cash prize, a complimentary dinner for 2 at the restaurant, and a printed poster of their design.
