The City’s fifth annual Traffic Signal Box Art Contest opened this week, co-sponsored by the Richardson Rotary Club, and is now available to all individual artists and students regardless of where they live. Five works will be chosen and displayed as vinyl wraps on traffic signal boxes at selected intersections. In addition, the winning artists will receive $200, a certificate, and have their work published in Richardson Today and other municipal communication channels.
This year’s contest theme is “Community”—artists are asked to celebrate their connection to Richardson by sharing the people, places and moments that make our city special to them.
Launched in 2022, the contest has enhanced 20 different intersections in Richardson with color and creativity and aligns with goals outlined in the City’s Public Art Master Plan.
All completed applications and artwork submissions for the 2026 contest are due by 5 p.m. Friday, April 24.
