Project Submissions

Submissions to the Public Design Commission include projects across five broad categories: Built Environment, Limited Scope, Signage, Artwork Installation, and Artwork Relocation or Conservation.

Each project category has specific submission requirements, which should be reviewed prior to creating a submission package. For more information regarding each project category, including a detailed checklist of requirements and submission instructions, please click on the project categories in the list to the left. We encourage teams and agency liaisons to include the checklist within the submission package to ensure that submissions are complete. Additional information may be requested by staff if necessary to clarify a proposal.

An application form is required for each project submitted to the Public Design Commission. This form requires the Community Board(s) and City Council District(s) be listed for each project.
