A member of One Direction wears one, its the bow tie and its making a comeback in some circles especially with some local artists.
The winners of a bow tie design competition at Spiva Arts Center, out of two hundred entries are:
- Jorge Leyva
- Kayla Cox
- Jim Bray
- Dylan Garrison
- Margie Moss.
Their designs will be sent to the Bow tie Cause, one will be chosen to be the official bow tie of Joplin. Finalists range in age from 22 to 77. Spiva officials say it was nice to have everyone come together for the project.
"Well I think that the biggest thing that the judges were considering were how does this bow tie represent Joplin, because it wont just be marketed to people who live here in Joplin or the surrounding area, it will be marketed nationally, and what image do they want out there to remind people of Joplin" says Jo Mueller.
Bow tie Cause is run by former NFL player Dhani Jones. The charity will select the best design, tweak it and then manufacture it. The ties should be for sale at the Spiva Art Center by this spring. Funds will go to the Spiva Art Center and Rebuild Joplin.
