Students from Brookhaven who attend schools outside the new city can also enter artwork in an open category, submitting it directly to the governor’s commission.

Finalists will be submitted to the public before the Nov. 6 vote and will be displayed in commission offices until a city hall is selected.

The elected mayor and council will select the winner and any logos it may use for the city.
