This exciting opportunity invites students to create original, Vallejo-centric designs that inspire Bay Area residents, travelers, and the art community. The designer finalists will present their work to a panel of judges from various companies and schools. The top winning designs will be featured on billboards and other forms of commercial displays throughout Vallejo.
