The successful local digital artist or designer will have their designs displayed on banners in up to 400 locations in the downtown core and James Bay for the 2023 and 2024 summers.
Applicants must from the capital region, including the southern Gulf Islands and First Nations.
The artist will receive a fee of $2,000.
