The Victoria Shopping Centre in Harrogate has today (12 September 2020) opened a competition to redesign the external banners.
They have drop-down banners adorning the Cambridge Street and Market Street entrances. While they have served the centre well, now wind, rain and sun have taken effect on them, meaning they need to be changed.
The centre is at the hub of the retail centre of the town and a home to many stores. It continues to develop, most recently seeing Next move into a prime corner space.
The management team have been discussing the banners for some time and, while they could use a design company, they felt they wanted to reach out to the community for budding designers to step forward.
It’s a competition open to all, of any age and those of all levels of experience – from complete novice designers to professionals.
As the design needs to fit the available space, there is a downloadable template and entries need to be made online (links below)
James White, Centre Manager of Victoria Shopping Centre, said:
We are thrilled to be opening this competition out to the local community and offering a member of the public the chance to redesign our external banners.
We are extremely proud to call Harrogate our home, a town that prides itself on its strong community and vibrant heritage, and it feels wonderful to be able to work with the local community on something that will be so special to the centre.
We very much look forward to receiving the submissions and selecting the winning design.
The design needs to be to specific dimensions and there is a template that can be download see Victoria Centre Template
