City Sponsors Design Contest for Centennial Logo
The Arts Commission will offer a $500 prize to the designer whose logo is selected.
The Redmond Arts Commission is sponsoring a design competition to develop a special logo or icon for the city's centennial in 2012.
This logo or icon will be used on all marketing materials for the centennial celebrations throughout the year as well as added to stationary, the city’s website and other publications. The arts commission has offered a $500 stipend to the designer whose logo is chosen.
Redmond incorporated as a city on December 31, 1912, when the birth of Ernest Alexander Adams brought the city’s population to 300, the number required by state law for incorporation. The driving force behind incorporation was the ability to tax liquor sales – the funds of which were needed to finance a waterworks system.
The overall concept behind Redmond’s centennial is the pioneer spirit that has existed in Redmond even before its official beginning in 1912.
The competition is open to anyone who lives or works in the City of Redmond. The details for the competition submission and the specific requirements are listed on the city’s website at www.redmond.gov/centennial.
Redmond’s Centennial will kick off at Redmond Lights 2011 and culminate in a special celebration at the end of 2012. Throughout the year, centennial celebrations will be incorpoated incorporated into existing community events, and all will carry the special centennial logo or icon.
The deadline for submissions is 5 p.m. on June 20. For more information, contact Lisa Rhodes, events and marketing administrator, at 425-556-2360 or larhodes@redmond.gov.
