The city of Hermiston and Hermiston Downtown District are seeking local artists to help showcase what makes life sweet in Hermiston with the 2023 Downtown Banner Contest.
The contest is open to all current and recent Hermiston area residents, with categories for emerging artists (K-12) and adults (19 and older). A winning entry from each age category will be reproduced as vinyl banners and displayed for a year on light posts throughout downtown Hermiston.
Submissions can include painting, drawing, digital art, collage, and printmaking and should incorporate the city’s color palette. Use of text is discouraged, and the entry should represent what makes life sweet in Hermiston.
Winners will be selected by representatives from the city of Hermiston and Hermiston Downtown District. The winner in each category will receive a $100 prize. Entries must be submitted before April 24.
For full contest rules, including requirements for dimensions and how to submit your entry, please visit the city’s website.
