The competition is part of the long-term Whangarei: Love it Here! campaign which seeks to raise Whangerei's profile as a great place to live, work, play and invest.
Keeping the momentum going on the Whangarei: Love it Here! campaigns was important, Whangarei District Council economic development manager Pete Gleeson said.
"When you're looking at a promotional campaign like this, you need to take a long-term approach. We want to shift perceptions of Whangarei, including what residents think and say, as well as what visitors see and hear," Mr Gleeson said.
"The most important element in the success of this campaign is the involvement of the community. We all love it here, so why not start talking about it more openly?"
The competition closes on September 7. Judges will chose the top 10 designs, which will be displayed in local retailers, online at the Whangarei: Love it Here! Facebook page and in the Northern Advocate.
The community can then vote forits favourite design.
