Rules:

  1. Contestants must reside within 50 miles of the Huntington Museum of Art.
  2. Contestants must submit a completed form (see attached) and design to Museum Store Manager Mollie Ashworth via email to [email protected] no later than 11:59 pm on Friday, September 26th, 2025.
  3. Four finalists will be chosen from each age group by a panel of judges, then the eight designs will be posted on the Huntington Museum of Art’s Facebook page on Monday, October 6th, 2025, for community voting via “likes” or “reactions.” It will be possible for a single person to vote for more than one favorite in each category. One design with the most “likes” or “reactions” in each age group by 11:59 pm on Sunday, October 12th, 2025, will be the winner. Comments do not count as votes. The winners will then be officially announced on the HMA Instagram and Facebook pages. The results will not be final until posted by HMA.
  4. Contestants must submit a high-quality photo or a scan (PDF, JPEG, or PNG format, no larger than 20 MB) of their original art – designs made with A.I. will be disqualified.
  5. Design should be created with either a physical or digital medium.
  6. Designs may not include profanity, adult references, trademarks, logos from HMA or other organizations, or copyrighted works.
  7. The design must fit the theme “Made in Appalachia.”
  8. The design must utilize no more (but can use less) than 5 solid colors, white and black included. If only four colors are used, all four colors will be printed on the shirt. If five colors are used, one of the colors will be chosen as the T-shirt color; therefore, only needing 4 colors to be printed. The Museum Store partnered with Mountain Mindful retains the right to choose the final shirt color.
  9. Avoid gradients or shading. Screen printing works best with distinct, solid colors rather than gradients or shades. Think of how traditional cartoons are drawn, with bold, clear lines and colors.
  10. Consider line thickness. Ensure that lines are not too thin, as very fine details will not print well.
  11. Design must be formatted in a vertical rectangular form, with the length being two inches longer than the width. The final design will be no larger than 11”x13” on the shirts. The design doesn’t have to fill up the entire space, but consider that this will be scaled and printed on the front of t-shirts in varying sizes, and must be able to keep details intact.
  12. By entering, the artist is granting the Huntington Museum of Art exclusive rights to the design, including any modifications. They are also granting the Huntington Museum of Art the use of their design, free of charge, for all printing, merchandise, and promotional purposes.
