About the Contest
The “Find Your Freedom Here” Postcard Contest calls for original designs that capture the spirit of Marion County through a uniquely American lens—from rolling horse farms and historic charm to crystal-clear springs and scenic backroads. Participants are encouraged to incorporate elements of red, white, and blue, patriotic themes, and local history while highlighting the natural beauty and character of the destination.
The winning artwork will be featured on an official destination postcard, which will be made available for visitors and residents for free at the Ocala/Marion County Visitors Center in Downtown Ocala.
