Moscow Arts Commission has extended its call for artists to enter its contest for designs for vinyl wraps that will be applied to traffic control boxes. The deadline is now Monday, May 16, at 5 p.m.

Residents 18 or older in Whitman, Asotin, Latah or Nez Perce counties and Nez Perce or Coeur D'Alene tribal members are eligible to participate.

Winning entrants will receive a $100 stipend per selection. Artists are allowed to submit up to 10 pieces for consideration.
