The Smithfield 2020 lamp post banner competition selections
As part of the on-going roll-out of the Genuine Smithfield branding project, Smithfield 2020, the Tourism team and the Arts Center @ 319 partnered for a banner competition in the spring of 2014. Original art in any medium that reflects the Small-Town Southern Charm of Smithfield was converted into two-foot by four-foot banners that are now affixed to lamp posts throughout the commercial areas of the Historic District.
Twenty three artists submitted fifty seven entries. From those, the four jurors selected eleven. The top three and honorable mention selections are presented below in order; the other selections are presented in no particular sequence.
