The winning piece will be installed in the northeast entrance plaza, according to a press release.

Interested professional artists have until 4 p.m. Jan. 27 to submit the necessary items, including a resume and images of their work. Details of the contest can be viewed at plainwellartscouncil.com. On Feb. 17, a committee will select five finalists, who will tour the mill and have access to some of the scrap material, which should be incorporated into their concepts. Each finalist will submit a concept, and the public will vote for the winner between April 16 and May 18.
