The 12th Annual Clayton Art Faire Artists Competition is underway, with $1,825 going to this year's winners, as well as exhibition at the Clayton Center.

Winners will be announced Sept. 2 at the Clayton Center during a reception for those who enter.

The "People's Choice Award" winner will get $25, and three "Honorable Mentions" will get a ribbon.

The artwork will be on display at The Clayton Center during September.
