The city’s street banner contest is now accepting submissions.

Community members’ artwork will be showcased on 1,000 street banners throughout Richmond in 2023. This popular community-based program welcomes submissions that include photography, graphic design, and other art mediums of all artistic skill and abilities. 

Participants are encouraged to consider the following 10 themes when submitting their entries:

• Neighbourhood

• Community

• Connection

• Wildlife

• Wellness

• Urban landscape

• Nature

• Waterfront

• The arts

• Sustainability

All members of the community are invited to showcase and share their unique vision of Richmond’s vibrant spaces and distinctive landscapes and neighbourhoods. Submissions that fit the banner contest criteria will be accepted until 5 p.m. on Sept. 16.

A community volunteer judging panel will shortlist 20 submissions, which will then be posted on the city street banner website. The community will be invited to vote for their favourite designs on the city’s Let’s Talk Richmond engagement platform (LetsTalkRichmond.ca) and 10 winners will be selected.

Winners will be announced in the spring of 2023 and they will be awarded a $300 honorarium along with a full-sized banner featuring their winning submission.

For complete contest rules and guidelines, and to submit entries, visit richmond.ca/banners.

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. For more information on Partners for Beautification, visit richmond.ca/parks/about/beautification.
