Completed applications and a $20 entry fee (cash or check made out to Los Alamos Arts Council) can be dropped off Sept. 25 through Oct. 9 at the front desk of Fuller Lodge Art Center.
Participants also may bring their application along with their Scarecrow 10 a.m. 4 p.m., Oct. 10, to Fuller Lodge Art Center for pole assignment.
