Calling All Bastrop Artists! Design the 'Made in Bastrop' Sticker.
The theme of the design challenge is: Roots Deep, Future Bright.
Bastrop is thriving like never before—our historic heart still beats strong amid the Lost Pines and along the Colorado River, where small-town charm, southern hospitality, and timeless Texas roots run deep. At the same time, we're soaring into a bright future: global innovators like LS Electric are planting roots here, and new innovative technologies are rising, homegrown businesses like Found Fine Arts are branching out, jobs are multiplying, historic downtown centers are in full bloom, and regional development is fueling opportunity for everyone.
Now is your moment to capture this unique story in art.
We're inviting local artists—painters, illustrators, graphic designers, and creatives of all kinds—to submit your best original design for a "Made in Bastrop" sticker.
This sticker will proudly promote our booming economic growth and development across the region, while staying true to the authentic, grounded spirit that makes Bastrop special.
What we're looking for in designs:
- Bold, eye-catching artwork that blends our deep roots (think historic downtown vibes, pine trees, river elements, classic Texas icons) with the energy of our bright future (growth symbols like rising horizons, innovative tech nods, thriving communities, forward momentum).
- The phrase "Made in Bastrop" must be prominently featured.
- Keep it versatile for stickers: clean, scalable, vibrant, and proud.
Submission Details:
- Deadline: April 25, 2026
- How to submit: Email high-resolution files (vector preferred) to with "Made in Bastrop Sticker Submission" in the subject line.
- Include your name, contact info, and a short description of how your design ties local roots to the bright future.
- Selected designs will be featured in regional promotion, with the winning sticker produced and distributed widely—bringing your art to businesses, events, visitors, and new residents alike.
