The City of Pineville has announced Erika E-LoVe as the winner of its 2026 Annual Mardi Gras Poster Contest.

City officials said E-LoVe’s design captured the spirit of Pineville’s “Community Heart,” incorporating decorative “Pineville” flourishes and a map of the historic downtown area into a colorful Mardi Gras-themed piece.

Official copies of the 2026 Mardi Gras poster will be available for purchase beginning Monday, Jan. 26, at the Pineville City Hall Utility Office. Posters are priced at $20 and will be sold Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

City leaders also thanked all artists who submitted entries, noting the strong participation and talent within the local arts community.
