About
Overview
A nationwide call for graphic designers, illustrators, printmakers, painters, and other visual artists to reimagine the official ArtsVote logo. Selected designs will be made available for public use and distribution and deployed for street-level visibility via high-impact wheatpastes across the country.
Theme & Requirements
Artwork should convey the inextricable connection between the arts, community, and democracy. Keep it non-partisan—no political parties, public political figures, candidates, or propaganda. Family-friendly and something you'd want a kid to wear.
Submission Guidelines
All work must be original (AI use is strictly prohibited) and provided as a final digital end product according to delivery specifications. You can integrate the ArtsVote logo into an illustration, redesign it, build it out of physical materials, or create something completely unexpected.
Scoring Criteria
- Overall quality of design
- Demonstrated connection between art and democracy
- Creative interpretation of the ArtsVote brand iconography
