Lake Country Street Banners Contest

The District of Lake Country’s street banner program is a community beautification effort aimed at involving residents and highlighting the work of local artists. The banner designs will be chosen through a contest that welcomes entries from all community members. 

Through a call for entries, we are seeking images that are, in some way, inspired by or rooted in Lake Country, promoting unique aspects of our community, reflecting community values and priorities, promoting civic beautification, and inspiring our community. There are no specific requirements that the applicant must reside in Lake Country.

The following visual art categories may be submitted: 
•    Photography
•    Digital art
•    Collage
•    Painting and illustration
•    Printmaking

The selected images will be paired with a colour coordinated wordmark banner and placed on the side of street poles in Lake Country’s Town Centre area. 

Applications will be accepted until June 30, 2025 at 12pm PST
