The Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center, soon to be the Haines Sheldon Museum. (Jillian Rogers)
The Sheldon Museum and Cultural Center in Haines has been going through some big changes in the last year.
In February, the board voted on a new name. The museum will soon be known as the Haines Sheldon Museum.
But there’s another part of the museum’s identity that they’re looking to change in the new year. Heading into 2017, the Sheldon Museum is set to get a new logo.
Museum staff are opening the redesign process up to the community. They’re accepting simple black and white submissions through the end of January.
At that point, there will be a public vote on the winning design. The winner will receive a $300 prize.
I recently saw information on the KHNS radio station site regarding a “call for entries logo contest” for your museum announcing interest to include the new name “The Haines Sheldon Museum.”
I am interested in participating but are unsure if you accept submissions from those who do not live in the community. I currently live in Connecticut but have always had a place in my heart for Haines. Please confirm if this contest is happening and that the name above in bold is correct. Also who is to accept the black and white concepts (name & contact info).
Sincerely,

Hello,
Can someone like myself who does not live in the “community” submit designs? If so, is there a restriction to how many may be submitted? And does the word “The” need to be included as part of the logo name?
Thank you!
Sandy Vaccaro
Hi Sandy, Yes, you don’t have to live in Haines to submit a design. Go for it!!!
