The City of West Plains is issuing a final call of submissions for the redesign of the official city seal. The current city seal is lackluster, at best, according to city spokesperson Cody Sanders. He tells Ozark Radio News that the city wants a resident of West Plains to design a seal that would go on every official document and would be something more inspired and representative of West Plains. The deadline is Friday, February 14.
How to Participate: Residents of all ages and artistic abilities are invited to submit their designs. The contest is open to individuals or groups, with the following guidelines:
Theme: Designs must be circular and should represent the spirit and identity of West Plains, incorporating elements that reflect its natural beauty, history, and/or community values.
Submission Format: All designs must be submitted digitally. Hand-drawn designs should be scanned and emailed. Digital designs should be sent as high-resolution files (JPG, PNG, or PDF).
Submission Email: Send all entries to seal@westplains.gov.
Deadline: Submissions must be received by Friday, February 14.
Selection Process: A panel of judges will review all entries and select five finalists based on creativity, adherence to the theme, and representation of West Plains. The community will then vote on the top designs to choose the winner.
Prize: While there is no monetary reward, the winner will receive:
Public recognition at a city council meeting. A feature in a press release and on the city’s social media platforms. The honor of having their design represent the City of West Plains on official documents.
Important Dates:
Submission Deadline: Friday, February 14
Finalist Announcement: Tuesday, February 18
Community Voting Period: February 18 – February 28
Winner Announcement: Tuesday, March 4
