The City of Richmond’s street banner program is a civic beautification initiative that strives to engage community members and showcase local artists. The banner designs are selected through an annual contest that is open to all members of the community.

The 2026-2027 Richmond Street Banner Contest features a call for entries that represent "Richmond" from the following visual art categories:

•    Photography
•    Digital art
•    Collage
•    Painting and illustration
•    Printmaking

You will be entering a design for one side of the street banner pole. The City’s Parks Department will design and pair each winning banner with one of TEN, colour coordinated, wordmark banners (see example) based on the 2026-2027 contest themes.
