30 Mar 2026 Juneteenth T-shirt design contest opens

Mosaic Templars Cultural Center is holding a T-shirt design contest for their official Juneteenth in Da Rock festival shirt. The public is encouraged to participate and to help visually represent the spirit of freedom, resilience, culture and community celebration!

The contest is open to all ages. Each participant may submit one original design.

Designs should reflect the spirit of Juneteenth in Da Rock — freedom, Black history, culture, unity and celebration. Designs must be limited to a maximum of four (4) colors to ensure effective and economical printing. Artwork must be positive, inclusive and appropriate for all audiences. All submitted designs must be original. No AI-generated designs are allowed. Designs should fit within the dimensions of 12 x 14” and must be submitted electronically.

Designs will be evaluated on originality, creativity, relevance, visual impact, print readiness and overall quality. Any work that is deemed offensive or political in nature will not be accepted.

Deadline for submissions is April 30.

The winning designer will be recognized on the main stage during the Juneteenth in Da Rock festival, and the design will be used as the official Juneteenth in Da Rock t-shirt. The winning t-shirt will also be announced in a media press release.
