The Three Rivers Folklife Society, and the Tumbleweed Music Festival, are absolutely delighted to announce that YM Cho, of Chicago and Arizona, is the winner of the Logo Contest for the 2022 Tumbleweed Music Festival!
Ms. Cho found out about our contest from an internet search, and we couldn’t be happier with the fabulous art that she’s brought us to symbolize this year’s Tumbleweed theme of “Dear Friends.” Ms. Cho will receive the cash prize of $150 for her winning design, which will be featured in all of this year’s publicity materials and merchandise for the Tumbleweed festival.
Congratulations and a huge thank-you to Ms. Cho for her winning design! We’d also like to express our great thanks and appreciation for all the other entrants to this year’s contest; the planning committee was spoiled for choice this year, with a total of nine entries vs. our normal 3 or 4, and that led to a LOT of discussion, let me tell you!

Logo for 25th Annual Tumbleweed Festival by Tom Reitter.
When planning for 2021’s 25th annual Tumbleweed Music Festival began, the COVID-19 pandemic was in full force. Because we could not know how events would unfold over the course of the year, it was planned to again be a virtual, online festival, as with the 24th annual rendition in 2020 (see TMFVirtual2020 for more about that).
The 2021 virtual festival opened on Friday, September 3rd at tumbleweedmusicfestival.org, and features nearly 100 prerecorded performances from five countries, 14 live workshops, a live Zoom Shanty Sing, and a live Zoom Contra Dance, with music by Yakima's "Contraversatile," called by Susan Dankovich from Spokane. And, don't forget our Shop, where you can buy this year's fantastic tie-dyed T-shirts, buttons, and more! See the TMFVirtual2021 page for lists of the Performer lineup, the Jane Titland Memorial Songwriting Contest Finalists, and the Workshops (including downloadable hand-outs!)
The 2021 Tumbleweed Music Festival was sponsored by Three Rivers Folklife Society, and co-sponsored by the City of Richland. Additional co-sponsors included Southam Creative, One World Telecommunications, Northwest Public Broadcasting, Print Plus, Artmil Design, and Gearhead Grip and Electric Production Rentals.
