What’s more fun than becoming a local island celebrity? The Daniel Island POA is looking to add new lamp post banners with artwork from local youth displaying what they love about Daniel Island. Artwork should depict what the youth hold dear about life in Charleston’s Island Town!

Share What You Love About Daniel Island and you could see your artwork exhibited on a lamp post along the main streets of Daniel Island!

Get out your markers, crayons, and paints– We want to see what you love most about living and playing on Daniel Island. If you live on Daniel Island and are between the grades of K-5, you’re invited to enter the “What I Love About Daniel Island” banner contest by creating and sharing a banner design about life on DI.
