The contest has been moved to the downtown streets of Broadway between Flint and Front this year, where festival organizers say the creations can be admired by passer-bys for weeks.

The cost is just $10 to participate in the Chalk Art Challenge, and registration takes place the morning of Aug. 25 at a location set up on Broadway.
