Richmondites are invited to enter their images for next year's street banner contest.
Show us your image of Richmond
You may not be able to wear your heart on
your sleeve but you can show the whole city how you feel about your community.
The City of Richmond Street Banner Contest is now underway.
According to city spokesperson, Ted Townsend
what the city is looking for are images that, “Celebrate Richmond’s diversity,
landscapes, activities and unique experiences.”
Entries are to reflect at least one of the
following 10 aspects of our city; transportation, Island City, the arts, culture, city centre, heritage, urban farming, active living, waterfront, or
nature.
There will be 20 semi-finalists chosen. Those
will be whittled down to 10 finalists, one from each theme category, by public
vote.
“All semi-finalist designs will be posted on
the City of Richmond’s Facebook page and City’s webpage for public voting with
the community invited to ‘like’ their favourite design. The top 10 designs with
the most ‘likes’ will be considered as finalists for the 2018 Street Banner
Contest,” says Townsend.
From there, each winning design will be
represented in the 1,000 banners installed for the following year starting in
February 2019. Which, according to Townsend, “Will be installed throughout
Richmond’s downtown core, on walking paths and on main gateways leading in and
out of the city.”
Besides a whole year of bragging rights, each
of the 10 winners will receive an honourarium of $300 as well as a full-sized
banner of their design.
Townsend says, “Once again, artists of all
ages and abilities are encouraged to submit creative and visually-appealing
designs through a range of artistic mediums in this very popular and
community-engaging contest.”
Townsend continues, “Richmond’s Street Banner
Contest is part of the broader Partners for Beautification Program, which invites
community members to become actively involved in the beautification of their
city.”
Submissions will be accepted until Friday,
Sept. 28 at 5 p.m.
