BANNER SPECIFICATIONS
Banners will measure 16.5 by 46 inches and feature a full-color design with the service member’s

Hero on each side; they will be separated and one-sided when returned at the end of the year.
Photograph requirements: Applicant must provide a high-resolution military photograph (digital file or
photograph) of the honoree in his/her military uniform. Photo should be portrait orientation and at
least 300 DPI. If the photo submitted online does not meet this requirement, the applicant may be

where an employee will scan and return the photo.
Banner information, including military branch and spelling of the service member’s name, will be taken
directly from the application. Neither the City nor School District is
responsible for misidentified military
branches or misspellings that were submitted with the application.
The City is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged banners (including damage incurred by acts of
nature and vandalism). Should damage occur and banners need repair, they will be removed and
given back to the applicant. It will be the applicant’s responsibility to have the banners repaired or
replaced.
