The Village of Monee is now accepting submissions for the Utility Box Beautification Project!
Contact our Marketing Coordinator, Rachel Beckmann, to submit artwork. All submissions are due for consideration by August 1, 2024.
What is the contest?
Village of Monee’s Department of Economic Development is leading a Utility Box Beautification Project. The purpose is to wrap over 17 utility boxes around Monee with artwork created by aspiring artists. We invite you to submit an original art piece of various mediums (illustration, painting, print, photography). Through your artwork, you will have the opportunity to share visuals which you feel best reflects the Village of Monee.
Selected artists will each receive a $500 stipend from the Village of Monee for your participation in this project, and your work will be displayed across 1-3 utility boxes within Monee’s village limits. Your art will also be featured on the Village’s Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and website with rightful credit to your work. All “Utility Box Beautification” pieces will be considered for any sized utility box as long as dimensions allow.
Special thanks to the Village of Monee’s 150th Celebration for sponsoring this contest and providing the stipends to qualified artists.
