Grab your camera, paintbrush or a pen, Sun Tran is holding a contest to promote local artists. The selected entry will be featured front-and-center on the next Ride Guide edition in 2021.

The Sun Tran Ride Guide provides important information to Sun Tran riders and has been in publication for more than 20 years.

Artists must be 18-years-old or older to participate in the contest. The deadline to submit entries is 5 p.m. March 15, 2021. Sun Tran will select four finalists and the public will vote on Suntran.com for the Grand Prize Winner who will be announced March 21st.

Artists will need to submit their contest entry via email as a high-resolution JPEG or PDF. Original artwork, photograph or multimedia design can be created using any medium.

“The cover art typically celebrates Tucson; whether it’s an iconic landscape photo, an image displaying our rich and vibrant culture or a design highlighting area amenities,” said Luz Navarrete, Sun Tran’s Community Outreach Manager. “This contest gives us a chance to show off the talents of our local artists and having the community pick a winner is a fun way to involve everyone.”

The Grand Prize Winner will receive (1) Annual Transit Pass and have their artwork featured on the cover of an upcoming Ride Guide publication.
