BACKGROUND INFORMATION: 

Council Calls for Katherine Centenary Logo Designs

When the railway bridge was completed on July 15, 1926, the present site of Katherine was officially gazetted. Ninety-nine years later, we are fast approaching the Katherine Centenary!

2026 will be a massive year for Katherine, with many exciting events in the pipeline. In preparation for this celebration, we invited community members to submit entries in our logo design competition.

This was a fantastic opportunity for residents to showcase their creativity and contribute to a logo concept that embodies our shared history, identity, and community spirit. We encouraged everyone to submit designs, including schools, local organisations, and Indigenous groups.

The only design requirements were that the logo concept include:

  1. the words Centenary of Katherine
  2. the number 100
  3. the years 1926-2026

The objective is to celebrate, commemorate, and acknowledge Katherine's history, with particular consideration and recognition of the Aboriginal custodians of the Katherine region.

Submissions are now closed. The Council's Centenary of Katherine 2026 Advisory Committee shortlisted entries to the top ten, and now the community can select its preferred logo. All ten shortlisted entries will be displayed on flags lining the main street.

Please note: we will engage a graphic designer to develop the shortlisted logo concept into the appropriate format if necessary.

    I am trying to source higher resulotion files, but at the moment, the ones we have a too low in resolution to make larger without them pixelating

    Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately, the file sizes I can access are small, so if I increase their size, the pixelation increases.

    The Katherine Centenary Advisory Committee, which predominantly comprises members of the public, developed the logo competition. The committee's project is designed to encourage broad community involvement in the celebrations, and designing the short-listed logos is a creative way to participate. The committee deliberately did not exclude any community members from submitting an entry, so they chose not to go to a graphic designer.  The short-listed logos will be recognised through local media and Council communication channels and flown on flags down the main street. So, in short, yes, the 'prize' is exposure and playing a role in the celebrations.

    That's a great question! The logo will be used across all marketing and communication mediums, from printed event invitations to media releases, websites, and social media. It will be used as a graphic identifier so people can immediately recognise the content associated with the Centenary of Katherine 2026. The top ten entries (selected by the Centenary of Katherine Advisory Committee) will be displayed on flags down the main street. The most useful end-use formats will be PNG and JPG.
