T-SHIRT DESIGN COMPETITION 2026

Fly Me to the Museum

Let your creativity take flight! The Huntington Museum of Art is thrilled to announce the 3rd Annual T-Shirt Design Competition, inviting artists of all ages to capture the theme:

“Fly Me to the Museum”.

Since we opened in 1952, the Huntington Museum of Art has strived to provide a space for the community to observe birds in their natural habitat while leaving them undisturbed. This year, we celebrate that commitment by challenging our participants not just to get out and explore our fifty-two acres of land on over two miles of hiking trails, but to also keep a keen eye out for our feathered friends that call the property home!

Whether you’re a young artist or an experienced designer, this is your chance to have your artwork featured on HMA merchandise, make a lasting impact on our community, and help us honor HMA history. With amazing prizes, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss! Grab your binoculars, we’ll see you on the trails!

Age Groups:

  1. Youth 5-17
  2. Adult 18-older

Prizes:

  • The one winning design from each age group will be screen printed on T-shirts and sold in the Museum Store!
  • The winner of each age group gets their design on a free shirt for themself and up to four immediate family members in their selection of sizes!
  • Annual Creativity Level Museum Membership ($25-$49 value, valid for the winner and up to four immediate family members). This includes free Museum admission for the entire year, 10% off Museum Store purchases, invitations to exhibition openings, free subscription to the Members’ Magazine, free subscription to HMA e-communication, and class and camp discounts!

Rules:

  1. Contestants must reside within 75 miles of the Huntington Museum of Art.
  2. Contestants must submit a completed form (see attached) and design to Museum Store Manager Mollie Hatfield via email to [email protected] no later than 11:59 pm on Friday, September 25th, 2026.
  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 5th, 2026, 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 11th, 2026, will be the winner. Comments do not count as votes. Online voting will be monitored. 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. The 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 “Fly Me to the Museum” and must include one or more birds that are native to West Virginia.
  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.
