The City of Richmond is asking 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 vote for their favourite images from this year’s 20 vibrant and colourful 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 [email protected]. All votes must be cast by 11:59 p.m. on Monday, Oct. 14.
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 more than a thousand street banners and will be installed on banner poles from March 2025 to February 2026.
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.
