The municipality holds an open design competition process to select artists for the seasonal banner program. Over the years the design styles and subjects have been diverse and reflect some aspect of life in the Sea to Sky Corridor or depict local landscapes.

Photographers, artists and graphic designers from the region have won these competitions.

After two years of seasonal display the banner set is retired. With the artist’s consent, used banners are made available for sale or may be recycled as bags. For more background or the banner designs view the Whistler Banner Catalogue. (PDF)
