The Minns Labor Government is inviting people from across Sydney and around the world to help light up the city's iconic skyline as part of Vivid Sydney 2026.
As part of the festival's interactive program, Your Connected City gives the public the opportunity to design a personalised light display that will be projected across some of Sydney Harbour's most recognisable landmarks, including the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Overseas Passenger Terminal and the Cahill Expressway.
Open to participants of all ages and from anywhere in the world, the Your Connected City experience invites users to create their own colour palette and lighting design through an easy-to-use online tool. Successful submissions will be brought to life on Sydney's skyline for a 30-second display during the festival, which runs from 22 May to 13 June 2026.
Vivid Sydney is Australia's largest event and one of the world's largest arts festivals, attracting millions of visitors and transforming the Harbour City with a vibrant program of light, music, ideas and food.
Participants whose designs are selected will also have the opportunity to see their name featured alongside their work, creating a memorable and shareable moment during the event.
