Thank you for your interest in this design contest.  The Altamont Commuter Express (ACE) train station in Stockton, CA is named after one of ACE's founders, Robert J. Cabral.  Currently, the neighborhood surrounding the station is undergoing a massive revitalization, and the station property will be getting a "facelift."  In addition to a 75-foot clock tower, the station area will debut new piers holding banners which will announce entry.  These piers, almost 29-feet high, will feature new monumental banners symbolizing the station and namesake.

This contest seeks entries for the design of these new pole banners.  Eventually, the banners will be made of an outdoor vinyl material and will be 62" wide by 122" tall.  The banners will be in full color.
