Original artwork selected for the program will be printed on vinyl and attached to select utility boxes.

The program is open to artists 18 years or older. Artists may submit up to 10 designs, the designs must be the original work of the entrant. Final selected artists will receive $200 for their design.

There are a few guidelines:
