Nevada raffling off old welcome signs

Nevada residents to enter a raffle to receive a “Welcome to Nevada” sign as the old, obsolete highway signs are redesigned and replaced later this year.

The iconic signs depicting a lone miner have stood at many interstate and freeway entrances into Nevada, welcoming drivers to the state for approximately 25 years. The signs will be replaced beginning this year by new welcome signs designed by Nevada high school graphic artists through a contest.

Free entry is available online. One winner will be randomly selected from each region (northwest, northeast, southwest and southeast) shortly before the Nevada Day holiday weekend. Winners must be Nevada residents and willing to sign a waiver regarding lawful usage of the signage.
