SAN FRANCISCO, CA.- The Museum of Craft and Design (MCD) announces the launch of Let's Face It, a nationwide mask-making design competition. Artists, designers, and creatives of all types and ages have been passionately responding to the current need to cover our faces. From the practical to the avant-garde, MCD wants to see what people are creating and share it with the world.

Juried by Marcel Wilson, the Founder and Design Director of Bionic, and JoAnn Edwards, the Museum of Craft and Design’s Co-founder and Executive Director, the winning design will receive $500, the runner-up will receive $250 and third place will receive $100. Additional non-monetary awards will be given for Best in Show, Best Student Design, and Most Unique Design.

The call for entries is open through May 31, 2020. All ages are welcome to enter and participation is free. Participants under 18 years old will be entered into the Let's Face It: Young Designers Competition and one winning design from this category will win an MCD MakeArt Gift Basket filled with creative art-making supplies and books.

The winning designs will be announced on Friday, June 12, 2020, along with an online community gallery showcasing all entries. Additionally, for each design entered, the Museum of Craft and Design will donate a new mask to the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank. For additional details and guidelines visit sfmcd.org/letsfaceit.
