The deadline to submit is Tuesday, Oct. 29 at 10 a.m. Up to five finalists will move on to the second stage in November. These final five will create concepts which will be publicly displayed for your viewing pleasure in spring 2025. Following the fanfare, the final winner will be announced.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
