PMG is once again showcasing great seasonal displays through its Produce Artist Award Series program, and all produce merchandisers, specialists and produce managers are welcome to participate.

To enter the summer contest, produce professionals simply email 6-10 photos of a variety of displays from this season (cherries, stone fruit, grapes, melons, summer veg, etc.) to ProduceArtistAwards@ProduceMarketGuide.com. Include in the email your name, role and company.

PMG shares many of the entries on its LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter accounts and will also feature some of the best displays in its results webinar.

The deadline to enter is Aug. 31, but earlier entries are encouraged so PMG can share photos throughout the summer to inspire other merchandisers and produce managers across the country.

For more details — or to use as a reminder in the office or the backroom — see the flyer below. Feel free to reach out to the previously mentioned email with any questions. Happy summer!
