Vote for your favourite 2024 street banner

This engagement took place September 19 to October 8, 2023. Thank you to everyone who participated.

A judging panel of community artists has narrowed down the competition to 20 finalists and it is now time for the public to vote for their favourite design.

• Using LetsTalkRichmond.ca, the public can vote for their favourite designs by choosing up to 10 designs (one from EACH theme) in the survey below.
• The 20 finalist designs will also be available for viewing on the street banner contest website and votes can be cast by emailing parksprograms@richmond.ca.
• The 10 designs, from EACH theme, that receive the most votes will be named the winners of the Annual Street Banner Contest and the designs will be showcased across Richmond.

All votes must be cast by 11:59pm PST on Sunday, October 8.

Entries for the 31th annual Street Banner Contest closed on Sunday, September 10 with over 350 individual submissions received. 

This year’s submissions include a broad range of visual art forms – photography, digital art, painting, illustration, printmaking and mixed media collage. All submissions reflect the following 10 themes representing the City of Richmond’s distinct charm: Active Living, the Arts, Community, Connection, Culture and Heritage, Island City, Nature, Sustainability, Urban Landscape and Wildlife.

The winning images will be printed on over 1,000 street banners. They will be installed on street light poles to enhance the city’s spirit and beautify the downtown core and gateways from March 2024 to February 2025.

Richmond’s street banner contest is a part of the broader Partners for Beautification Program, which invites community members to become actively involved in the beautification of their city.
