Looking for local artists to design tap handles for local beers

Over past two years Chancey Smith's grew to be a place to find a decent selection of beers in London. We built a list of some great imported beers from Belgium, U.S.A and rest of the world.
However, the one segment of our beer selection, I am most proud of, is an ever changing list of Ontario draught beers. Supporting and showcasing incredible talent and diversity of our local brewers has become a passion of mine. I truly believe that Flying Monkeys' Netherworld, Black Oak 10 Bitter Years, Beau's Festivale, Dennison's Wessbier, Lakes of Muskoka Harvest Ale to name just few are just as good as some of the highly renowned foreign beers.
Supporting community, local product, business, artists is beneficial to all of us. It means supporting people, knowing their names and feeling like normal human beings rather than a number in corporate financial statements. It hopefully means we will have more thriving small businesses rather than more Godzilla like conglomerates too big to fail.
So if you are an artist who feels the same way, we would like to invite you to enter a contest to design tap handles for some of the local beers and breweries we feature in Chancey Smith's. We are not looking for expensive piece of art and we do not have a large budget to pay for these either. There would be most likely a combination of  "perks" from brewery and a credit toward goods & services in Chancey Smith's and in some cases some cash. And of course the bragging rights. The medium you choose does not matter; wood, metal. ceramic or anything else is fine, as long as the handle can function well and last.
One brewer I recently spoke to about the project expressed an interest in potentially ordering larger number of handles or buying the design. Initially we are looking for sketches only. Once we select designs, we can discuss the rest with each artist.

So if you are interested, contact me directly in Chancey Smith's or via my email miloskral@gmailcom for more information.
I would like to meet with you in person, discuss the ideas and answer any questions you might have.
