The USA Pro Cycling Challenge is inviting sports and cycling fans to create the national and host city commemorative posters for the inaugural international cycling competition August 22-28. Entrants can submit their artwork through the event's Facebook page now and submissions will be accepted until June 19. The winners will be announced July 19.

The USA Pro Cycling Challenge brings the greatest athletes in the world to compete in the most scenic collection of quaint towns and mountain resorts imaginable — a combination that will inspire artists to capture the intensity of this race with the specific and unique characteristics of the tour's host cities through original artwork.

Artists will be submitting artwork for consideration as one of 12 official posters: one for the national commemorative poster, and 11 for each of the host cities (Colorado Springs, Salida, Crested Butte, Gunnison, Aspen, Vail, Avon, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, Golden and Denver.) The posters will be used throughout the event for various promotional activities and will be seen by millions of sports fans worldwide.
