(FALL RIVER, MA- September 1, 2022)- In an effort to modernize the City of Fall River,
improve service to residents and invest in Fall River’s ongoing economic development/tourism
efforts, the City of Fall River has begun a project to redesign the City of Fall River’s official
website. The new website- which will be built with Revize, a national leader in municipal web
design- is expected to be ready for launch by late 2022.

To complement the new website, the City is searching for a new official logo through an
open-entry design competition. The public is invited to create and submit their own original
ideas for a new City of Fall River logo during the entire month of September, with the deadline
of 5:00P.M. on Friday, September 30th
.
Eligibility is not limited to professional graphic designers and participants are welcome to
submit artwork that is created digitally or in traditional mediums, such as paint, pencil, marker,
etc. Artists are asked to incorporate the unique character and history of Fall River, but must make
sure that their design is simple enough to be easily replicated in black and white, is easy to see
from a distance and can be translated into more complicated formats like embroidery. The entry
form and complete submission guidelines (including an entry guide with inspiration and the
suggested color palette), are available online at https://www.fallriverma.org/contest/.

The winning artist of the design contest will work with the City to modify their entry to
fit the many needs of a City logo. The winning artist will receive a $500 prize, sponsored by
Mayor Paul Coogan. The winner will also be recognized at an unveiling ceremony for the new
website and will be gifted with merchandise featuring the new logo.
