The main purpose of the Community Banner Program is beautification and community identity promotion. Community banners add vibrancy and community spirit throughout our Town.

Ladysmith and Stz'uminus' natural environment inspires creativity, and community events and gathering creates the connections we all need to feel a sense of belonging.

COMMUNITY BANNER PROGRAM - PUBLIC ART BANNERS 

The Town of Ladysmith seeks artists of all ages and skill levels from Ladysmith, Stz’uminus and the surrounding area to submit street banner designs for the 2025 Community Banner Program.

The designs must represent Ladysmith’s small-town charm, community life and diverse cultural heritage, while highlighting the Community Banner Program’s theme.

This year’s theme, “Coastal Living: Growing Our Future Together,” celebrates Ladysmith’s stunning seaside, which supports an abundance of life and serves as a place of growth and healing for all our residents.

Only one artist and their pair of designs will be selected by the Selection Committee.  An honorarium of $1,000 will be awarded to the successful artist.

The winning designs will be displayed along 1st Avenue for one year. The following year, the designs will be moved to Transfer Beach Boulevard and 4th Avenue.

Artists must submit a completed entry form that includes their designs to bid@ladysmith.ca before 4:00 p.m. on Friday, January 31, 2025.
