The Office of Arts & Culture, in partnership with Mayor Keith Wilson, invite creatives in Portland to enter the America 250 City Art Poster Contest-celebrating Portland's history and culture alongside the United States' 250th anniversary and the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
This contest is part of a nationwide program launched by the U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) and the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) being delivered as a component of the Mayor's Institute on City Design-a leadership initiative from both organizations. The City of Portland is proud to participate as a contributing city.
For this Portland-specific opportunity, the City looks forward to receiving commemorative poster submissions from artists and creatives of all skill levels (ages 13+) that represent the vibrancy of the local arts and culture landscape. Submissions should reflect the spirit, pride, and future of Portland, Oregon.
All submissions are due by March 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
