PITCH SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: DEADLINE 11/16/2026 AT 5 PM

At this stage, the GTCD is only requesting pitches, mockups or concepts with a link to portfolios or previous works to be considered. Once the jury has chosen the six final artists they will work with our production team to provide final artworks according to specs. We're doing this out of respect for the artists time and talents.

 

Art Wrap pitches may be considered when designed per the following criteria:

​

• Keep in mind a seamless design that goes across all sides of the cabinet.

• Set up your artwork in a landscape/horizontal format.

• Be mindful of visibility and readability. Design elements that stand out from a distance work best, given the speed of passing vehicles.

• Art must be two-dimensional and translatable to a digital image.

• A maximum of three artworks may be submitted by any one artist or team.

• The artwork must be pleasing and add beauty to the community.

• The artwork cannot contain business promotions or advertisements.

• The artwork cannot include any breach of intellectual property, brands, trademarks, or depictions of illegal activity.

• The artwork must be family-friendly.

• No AI-created artwork will be accepted.

• Local Denver artists are preferred.

• GTCD must adhere to the Project for Public Spaces Public Art Guidelines

• Optional: Apply the artwork to the provided cabinet template so the committee can see the ideal orientation for the artwork on the traffic cabinet. Download sample template here.

 

NOTE: If selected, FINAL ART WORK will need to be provided by December 4, 2026 with the following specs:

• Images of the artwork should be at least 300 DPI resolution and at least 1980x1334 px in size.

• Fits the template provided by the printer. GTCD team will assist with technical questions.

 

JURY SELECTION PROCESS: 11/17/26-11/19/26 

The jury committee will consist of selected GTCD Board members, members from the PS-You Are Here Grant team and a few community leaders involved in the project. The comittee will review and select all art pitch/idea submissions based on artistic merit, creativity, and overall impact on the community. The committee reserves the right to reject any or all entries at any time in the review and selection process. Selected artists will be notified by 11/20/26 and final artwork will be due by 12/4/2026.
