Black Stone Cherry have decided to call in their fans to help promote the bands upcoming tour.

Fans are being asked to design posters for each concert stop, with a signed copy of the winners design on offer along with a pair of tickets to each show.

"We want OUR FANS to design posters for our shows for the whole tour!" the band said.

"For every show we will pick our favorite poster and use it to promote the show, and if we pick your poster we will print it out high res on 14" x 20" poster paper & have the band sign it and mail it to you, and you will also get two tickets to the show you designed the poster for!

"We are basing this contest off of Black Stone Cherry's new video 'Please Come In' in which vintage concert posters come alive."

The video for Please Come In can be viewed below.

The band added "We need these posters that you design to be HIGH RESOLUTION to be qualified to participate in this contest. The dimensions have to be 14" x 20".

Design a poster inspired by the vintage posters in the video. Some notable artists that designed posters like this are Bill Graham, Bonnie MacLean, Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Victor Moscoso, and Rick Griffin.

You can see some examples at this location.

Each poster must include:
*The Date (Month, Day, and Year)
*The Venue
*City and State
*Band Name
*Any other bands that might be playing
*If there is any other information that is available that you would like to add into the poster (admission cost, show start time, age requirements, venue address) you may include it but it's not required.

YOUR POSTER MUST BE SUBMITTED AT LEAST 5 DAYS BEFORE THE SHOW DATE TO BE QUALIFIED.
