Call for entries: Are you a college student looking for artistic inspiration?
The iconic Coca-Cola bottle has inspired artists for over a century. In 2017, we are hosting a competition inviting creative people from colleges and universities in metro Atlanta to create their own unique design on a four-foot Coke bottle for display at the World of Coca-Cola.
The World of Coca-Cola in downtown Atlanta welcomes more than one million guests from around the world each year.
Each spring, the World of Coca-Cola presents a new exhibit in our Pop Culture Gallery. Previous exhibitions have included the work of artists such as Andy Warhol, Howard Finster, and Norman Rockwell.
