Community Design Contest
Design the Next SouthWest Transit Bus Wrap!
Calling all young artists! Here’s your chance to see your artwork on the road across the Southwest Metro.
SouthWest Transit’s Community Design Contest is back, and this year’s theme is the Minnesota State Fair and Renaissance Festival! Create an original design inspired by these well-loved summer events, and your artwork could be turned into a full bus wrap that will be seen by thousands of riders and community members all season long.
