The community Banner Project is a series of banners which are displayed from the lampposts in the downtown area of Elliot Lake through the summer and fall seasons. The banners were designed by and for the citizens of Elliot Lake to showcase our local heritage and visual art talents.

"Our Town" Banner Project: 2021

As part of the beautification of downtown Elliot Lake, the Arts & Culture Committee is delighted to once again call for submissions for a Community Banner Project with the theme of  “Our Town”.  The City seeks to showcase Elliot Lake artists, young and old, while enhancing the appearance of our Downtown.

Artists of all ages and skill levels are asked to prepare designs for consideration for street banners that will be displayed throughout the downtown and along Highway 108. Up to 41 designs will be selected and printed.

Each design should be imaginative, original interpretations of the theme OUR TOWN and represent what you like best about Elliot Lake. It could be the landscape; maybe it’s the people; it could be our history; it might be sports or leisure activities; maybe you love nature and wildlife—in short, what inspires you? We want to see it!

For more information, review the guidelines or contact the chair of the Arts and Culture Advisory Committee.

Banner Project 2021 Guidelines

"Notre Ville" Projet de Banière: 2021

Le Comité des arts et de la culture de la ville d'Elliot Lake poursuit le projet de bannière communautaire pour l'été et l'automne 2021. Nous recherchons des artistes de tous niveaux - des jeunes aux professionnels - pour créer des designs de bannières de rurales représentant “NOTRE VILLE” .

Chaque design doit être une interprétation imaginative et originale du thème NOTRE VILLE et représenter ce que vous aimez le plus à propos d'Elliot Lake. Cela pourrait être le paysage; c’est peutêtre les gens; ça pourrait être notre histoire; il peut s'agir d'activités sportives ou de loisirs; peut-être que vous aimez la nature et la faune - bref, qu'est-ce qui vous inspire? Nous voulons le voir!

Pour plus d'informations, contactez la présidente du comité des  arts et de la culture.

Formulaire d'Inscription

Technical Considerations

  • Artwork must be appropriate for audiences of all ages and respectful of the different perspectives in our community
  • Artwork must be in a VERTICAL or “portrait” mode
  • Make your design in proportion to the space that will contain the Artist’s Image on the template
  • The proportional sizes are 8“W X 10”H, or 12”W X 16”H or 16”W X 21”H 
  • Designs must be original with no advertisements, logos or website information

Design Tips

  • Keep it simple! Even though the banners seem large, they will look very small when installed up high on lamp posts so details get lost
  • Bright, saturated colours work best
  • Large blocked areas of colour and black or white outlines can be seen clearly from a distance
  • Outlines help define the design
  • Do not use text on the banners

"Our Town" Banner Project: 2020

“Our Town” Banner Project was an idea suggested by a group of volunteers to beautify downtown Elliot Lake and showcase some of the work by artists in our community.

Originally spearheaded by Fran Perkins from the Arts & Culture Committee, the group evolved to include Linda Finn, Jay Smith, Claire Nolan, Julie Merk and Barb Hukezalie.

They chose the theme of “Our Town”—broad enough to give lots of scope for creativity to the artists, but specific enough to include everything from history to leisure activities to what the future might be like in Elliot Lake.

Banners include designs from children as young as 3 years old to teens and adults alike.

Thanks to the City of Elliot Lake, this project was able to come to be, even though the community was self-isolating during Covid-19.

Grand opening:  Friday, July 31, 2020.
