‘Belonging’ banners

The Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce is looking for artists to submit designs for street pole banners throughout the town.

The theme for the banners is “You Belong in Los Gatos,” and was chosen with the goal of building pride among Los Gatos residents, welcoming visitors and fostering “a sense of belonging” in the town, according to the Chamber of Commerce.

“The banners celebrate what a wonderful place Los Gatos is,” the call for artwork reads.

Artists must live, work or attend high school in the town of Los Gatos, and submissions must not include text. They will also need to include at least one color in addition to black and white, according to the Chamber.

The submissions are due at 4 p.m. on April 25, and the Chamber will notify artists of its selections by May 15. The posters will be put up in Los Gatos this summer.
