North Bay is celebrating its 100th birthday next year and is looking to spruce the place up a little.
The Centennial Marketing & Promotions sub-committee wants local artists to submit designs for commemorative banners.
Selected designs will be displayed along the Const. Fred Lefebvre Memorial Overpass leading into the West Ferris and downtown areas. The artwork is intended to be up for the entire year. The current banners will be reinstalled in January 2026.

That initiative features 14 artworks created by local artists, highlighting the ongoing commitment to bringing public art to the community and celebrating local talent.
Requirements for the new banners:
- Digital artwork or high-quality scans (34" x 90") vertical display
- Incorporate historical elements relevant to North Bay (e.g., aviation, rail, water, ringette, Gateway Arch)
Successful applicants will receive a $700 artist fee.
Submission Deadline: October 16.
