The City of Richmond is inviting residents to help choose the winning street banner designs that will be displayed on banner poles in 2025. Through the online platform LetsTalkRichmond.ca, residents can directly impact the city's beautification efforts by voting for their favourite images from this year’s 20 vibrant and colorful street banner contest finalists. The public can also view the designs from the city’s website at richmond.ca/banners and submit votes by emailing parksprograms@richmond.ca. All votes must be cast by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14, 2024.

This year, the contest received 585 design submissions, reflecting Richmond’s unique characteristics across the following themes: Arts, Culture and Heritage; Community; Diversity; Island City; Nature; Play; Sports and Recreation; Sustainability; Urban Landscape; and Wildlife. A judging panel of Richmond artists narrowed down submissions to the final 20. The 10 designs (one from each theme) that receive the most votes from the public will be named winners of the 2025 Street Banner Contest.

The winning images will be printed on over 1,000 street banners. They will be installed on banner poles from March 2025 to February 2026 to enhance the city’s spirit and beautify the downtown core and gateways.

Richmond’s street banner contest is a part of the broader Partners for Beautification program that invites community members to become actively involved in the beautification of their city. For more information on this program, visit richmond.ca/beautification.
