Billboard Contest

ENTRY DEADLINE: MAY 15


If you are looking for a way to lift the human spirit and bring joy to the world, we invite you to enter this billboard contest to share your inspirational message of hope, unity, and gratitude.

Contest Rules:

All designs submitted must be the original artwork and owned by the individual listed on the entry form

By submitting artwork, the individual grants JUMP the license and right to use, modify and reproduce the artwork for any promotions and on any medium by JUMP or relating to JUMP. The individual grants permission forJUMP to display their name along with their artwork. 

All entries become the property of JUMP and will not be returned. 

Tips: remember the design is for a billboard, small details will not always be visible and going for BIG, BOLD, and SIMPLE is best.  

Motorists, cyclists, and pedestrians glance at billboards quickly and don’t have the time to read a long, drawn-out message. A rule of thumb is to keep text at seven words or less. 

Although you may love fancy fonts, they are not a good choice for outdoor advertising. Use simple, large fonts that are legible from great distances.
