At the direction of the President by executive order, the Environmental Protection Agency (E.P.A.) has been instructed to create a new division to continue the work authorized by the Highway Beautification Act and promoted by Lady Bird Johnson in 1965. An initial operating budget of $2.5 billion has been earmarked and will be raised by the new Federal Sign Permit fees, licensing fees, and future fines levied on violators of any regulations issued by the new division.
The new division is to be known as the Bureau of Ugly Signs Takedown Enforcement Division (B.U.S.T.E.D.)
Initial plans call for opening of division offices in Washington D.C. as well as approximately 100 field offices. Hiring of approximately 1,000 B.U.S.T.E.D. field agents and an as of yet undetermined number of office workers and administrators has also been announced.
Signs 101 has been contacted by the E.P.A. to develop the full identity package for the new division including logo, mottoes, stationary, uniforms, signage and vehicles, etc.. Their only instructions are that the package is to be of the highest standards befitting the importance of the task to which they have been assigned. They have also indicated that submitters of accepted designs will be granted preference in production bidding that will be offered upon completion of the design phase.
We are, therefore, pleased to announce The Official B.U.S.T.E.D. Identity Package Design Contest.
The Rules
Contest Dates
The Official B.U.S.T.E.D. Identity Package Design Contest begins with this post and all entries must be posted by midnight, Tuesday, September 2, 2014. Judging will begin on Wednesday, September 3, 2014 and will end at midnight, Friday, September 5, 2014.
Prizes
In addition to the previously noted E.P.A. bidding preference, the winner will receive a three year Signs 101 Premium Membership. The first runner-up will receive a two year Signs 101 Premium Membership and the second runner-up will receive a one year Signs 101 Premium Membership.
Additional Note
B.U.S.T.E.D. is a tongue-in-cheek figment of my imagination intended to be humorous. It is not real. The Official B.U.S.T.E.D. Identity Package Design Contest is, however, very real and intended to get creative juices flowing as well as be a fun event. Contestants are free to be creative in any way they may choose. Non-contestant posters are requested to not turn a fun event into a political shouting match. We reserve the right to remove any post that is, in management's sole judgment, political and/or offensive.
