Brookline Residents Invited To Enter U.S. Open Banner Competition

BROOKLINE, MA — The Brookline Commission for the Arts and the Brookline Community Partnerships Committee is inviting community members to submit designs for the U.S. Open Banner Competition.

The winning banner will be featured on light poles throughout the town in the weeks leading up to and during the U.S. Open.

"Brookline is home to so many wonderful artists,” Town Administrator Mel Kleckner said in a statement. "I encourage anyone with an interest or passion for the arts to enter the contest. I am very excited to see the designs, which will surely embody the spirit of Brookline and the U.S. Open."

Residents of Brookline and students attending Brookline schools are eligible to submit a design. All designs must be submitted by March 15.

Members of the Brookline Commission for the Arts and arts professionals will select the winning design. The winner will be announced on April 1 and will be awarded $1,000.

The banner design must incorporate visual image(s) and the following text:

• 122nd U.S. Open Championship
• The Country Club, Brookline, MA
• June 13-19, 2022

In addition, an appropriate amount of space must be left so that the USGA, The Country Club, Town of Brookline, and the Brookline Commission for the Arts can add their logos.

Submissions can include visual images of any medium, including photography, painting, drawing, collage, digital image or mixed media. Submissions must fit on a two-dimensional banner measuring 60 inches high by 30 inches wide.
