Pro Portsmouth Seeks New First Night Portsmouth Logo

PORTSMOUTH, NH — Pro Portsmouth, which has been hosting events on the Seacoast for nearly five decades, is asking for submissions for their First Night event.

The organization is requesting submissions for the First Night Portsmouth 2025 design logo by Oct. 29, according to Barbara Massar, the org’s executive director. The prize for the top artist is $300. The artwork will be used on all First Night merchandise, social media, website, and collateral Pro Portsmouth produces for the event.

Previous logos can be found online here.

Some themes that could be used include celebration, holidays and-or winter, New Hampshire’s Seacoast, or arts, culture, history, or community.

Medium/size/details: Graphic design and painting (watercolor, oils, etc.) mixed are fine—the key factor will be whether the work can be successfully scanned to create the button, merchandise, website, etc. Scannable-sized pieces (8.5” x 11”) and bold colors (a maximum of six colors) work well.

Entries can be sent to: Barbara Massar, Pro Portsmouth, Inc., P.O. Box 967, Portsmouth, NH 03802, or by email in jpg format: info@proportsmouth.org.
