VIRGINIA — A fresh “LOVE” sign is in the works for the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel Welcome Center, and artists with a connection to Virginia’s Eastern Shore are being asked to help design it. With more than 300 of these signs spread across the state, this will be just the fifth one installed on the Shore.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia Tourism Commission is leading the charge, hoping the new landmark draws attention to the region’s rich culture and encourages travelers to venture off Route 13 and into the local towns.
Organizers want the design to reflect the broader Chesapeake Bay region — but more importantly, they want it to come from the heart. Artists are encouraged to pull inspiration from their own personal memories of the Shore. And you don’t need to be a Virginia resident to participate. If the Eastern Shore has shaped your story in any way, you’re invited to submit. Designs are due by July 31 and must be emailed to Megan Lawson at mlawson@esvatourism.org.
