Submit a few words or short phrase for four fences on the Downsview lands!
A selection panel of local and city-wide community arts experts will choose four winning entries, which will be woven into the local fences this summer.
This competition is open to neighbours, students, artists, seniors, poets, story-tellers, kids, dog-walkers, and everyone else! Winning wordsmiths will each get a $100 gift certificate to any Downsview business of their choice.

Ready to sharpen your pencils?
We’re looking for two or three words that together speak to the spirit of Downsview’s past, present, or future.
Submissions will be accepted via the fields below until noon on June 21, 2023. Winners will be announced early July, 2023. Participants are encouraged to follow @id8Downsview on social media and subscribe to the id8 newsletter to hear the news first.
