Attention Suns fans: Here's your chance to design the #SarverOut billboard

A longtime Phoenix Suns fan wants team owner Robert Sarver to go -- and he's asking for help in designing a billboard to help spread the message.

It took Alex Smith just five hours to reach his GoFundMe goal that will allow him to post an anti-Sarver billboard in downtown Phoenix for one week in mid-November. Now, he's looking for someone to design that billboard.

Here's a link to the official billboard contest rules, including the required design dimensions. All submissions must include the #SarverOut hashtag but cannot include any copyrighted images (including Suns logos), any images of Sarver himself, or profanity.

Sarver, a real estate investor, is a Tucson native and University of Arizona graduate. He purchased the Suns for a then-record $401 million in 2004.

Smith and many other Suns fans aren't happy with the current state of the team. The Suns haven't made the playoffs since 2010 and have already fired their head coach and dismissed one of their top players just one week into the 2017-18 season.

Some fans have already submitted design options. The contest will end Thursday, Oct. 26, so act fast!
