Tourism Prince Rupert is calling for submissions from local artists who want their work to be remembered by visitors for years to come.
One selected artist will be paid $1,000 to design a mural which will serve as an interactive backdrop for tourists to snap photos.
Submitted designs should include an obvious spot for photo opportunities, and incorporate local elements such as wildlife, culture, and terrain.
They must also prominently feature the phrases “Welcome to Prince Rupert, Canada” and “La Bala Sgan a Kxeen” in Sm’algyax.
Once a winning design is chosen, it will be applied as a decal to the side of a 138 square foot container in the Cowbay Container Market.
Artists have until April 21st to send their design idea and portfolios to Kaylee at ceilidh@visitprincerupert.com.
