Objective:
Regina Downtown Business Improvement District (RDBID), in partnership with Nuit Blanche Regina, is currently looking for diverse, original artwork, reflective of Downtown Regina’s culturally vibrant and sustainable neighbourhood, for the Winter 2022 Urban Canvas Downtown Regina digital art program.
In celebration of the 109th Grey Cup, RDBID is initiating a digital art installation as a creative means to demonstrate Regina’s community pride through artwork inspired by Regina’s storied history with football, Grey Cup and our beloved Saskatchewan Roughriders.

2. Designs must be in a landscape format at a 16:9 aspect ratio. Proposed designs in a vertical format will not be considered.
3. Colors must be high contrast to ensure definition within the design. For example, the difference between a yellow immediately next to a yellow-green will not be visible in the projection (see photo).
4. Design must be a static image. Moving images will not be considered.
