CHEESE PLEASE!
Warm cheese makes the world go ’round. When I’ve had a hard day, there is nothing I love more than nachos and a raspberry pineapple daiquiri and my local creekside cantina. But sometimes we must remind ourselves that there is far more depth of flavor and choice in Hispanic food than your favorite local Mexican haunt. South America, Central American and much of the Carribean offer food your taste buds will never forget. This Call for Entries is a reason to celebrate the flavor!
Check out this great Call for Entries for the Hispanic Heritage Celebration’s Poster Contest at the Miami International Mall. This is a great FREE opportunity for all of you graphic designers and illustrators looking for a great credit on your resume. Don’t miss this chance…
