ntroducing the EYC Lights Parade Poster Competition Join a cherished Annapolis holiday tradition! Each year on the second Saturday in December, the harbor comes alive as boats adorned with thousands of twinkling lights glide through the night, crewed by festive participants in the Eastport Yacht Club (EYC) Lights Parade.
The Maryland Federation of Art (MFA) and EYC invite artists from across the United States and its territories to participate in our annual art competition. We welcome original two-dimensional artwork in any medium that follows MFA’s submission guidelines.
Artwork should feature an Annapolis landmark or the city skyline, include a festively decorated boat or boats, and incorporate the EYC burgee.
The selected piece will be featured as the official image of the 2025 Lights Parade and reproduced on posters, t-shirts, and other promotional materials. All entries will be showcased in MFA’s Online Gallery from November 15 through December 31, 2025. A People’s Choice Award will be announced on December 19 at 5 PM.
