• Banners should be designed to be hung on the classic light poles in the downtown core throughout the year.
• Each light pole supports two banners, each having a finished size of 12 inches (width) by 36 inches (height), with the design on both sides of the fabric.
• The design may contain words but should not incorporate words or images which flow from one banner to the other.  The design should allow for a random pairing of banners on each light pole for ease of hanging and maintenance.
• A single design may be submitted, or a design for a series of banners.  Again the design should allow for the random pairing of banners.
• Banners should be multi-purpose and not contain specific dates, as they will be used in repeated years.
• Banners should be simple in design, colorful and provide for continuity of appearance.
