The mural will go on display on Sept. 26 at the Reston Multicultural Festival, but the window to submit portraits closes this Sunday.

The window for entries closes this Sunday, Aug. 9, at 5 p.m. Submitting a portrait is easy: simply visit the project’s website and click “register” to file a submission.

Thanks to the Reston Community Center and the Initiative for Public Art — Reston, this year’s mural will feature the portraits of various community members lined up side-by-side to show the simultaneous unity and diversity of the town.
