CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Residents of North and South Carolina are being asked to submit original artwork with the theme “What Moved You?” for the chance to have their art printed on CATS transit passes for the 2023 calendar year.
Officials say three winners will be selected to have their artwork printed on Local, Express, and Express Plus passes.
Entries are due to CATS by Friday, May 13th at 5 p.m. and will be judged by a committee consisting of transit staff members, city officials, and local art professionals.
Entries will be ranked with the following criteria in mind:
- Does the design address the theme and promote multi-modal transportation in Charlotte in specific or general terms?
- Is the design eye-catching and well-composed?
- Is text absent from the design?
In addition to having their artwork printed on 2023 transit passes, officials say each winner will receive a monthly transit pass of their choice and a prize.
First place will get an Amazon Fire HD 10 tablet, second place will get an Amazon Echo Dot speaker, and third place will get an Amazon Fire TV Stick, according to a news release.
