CATS Launches Transit Pass Design Contest
Charlotte, N.C. – The Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) launches its annual Transit Pass Design Contest, asking North and South Carolina residents to submit original artwork with the theme: Safe Travels! Three winners will be selected to have their artwork printed on Local, Express and Express Plus passes for the 2025 calendar year.
Entries are due to CATS by Wednesday, May 22 at 5 p.m. and will be judged by a committee consisting of transit staff members, city officials and local art professionals. Entries will be ranked to identify first, second and third place winners based on the following criteria:
1. Does the design address the theme and promote multi-modal transportation in Charlotte in specific or general terms?
2. Is the design eye-catching and well-composed?
3. Is text absent from the design?
In addition to having their artwork printed on 2025 passes, each winner will receive a monthly transit pass of their choice and a prize as follows: - first place - $500.00; second place - $250.00; third place - $100.00.
