Grandad’s Cards T-Shirt Contest 2026 is LIVE!

Our second T-shirt design contest is here, and we are PUMPED.
We’re looking for designs to help create our first official Grandad’s Cards shop T-shirt — something our staff can wear proudly and our community can enjoy too.
T-Shirt Requirements & Rules
1. Back Design
Create a bold, eye-catching design for the back of the T-shirt.
Maximum print area: 12" x 16" (adjust as needed)
This should be the main focus of your artwork
2. Front Design
Create a smaller design for the front of the T-shirt, such as a logo, icon, or simple complementary graphic.
Maximum print area: 4" x 4" left chest
Keep it clean and complementary to the back design
3. Incorporate 2026
This time, we are changing things up a bit. Subtly incorporate “2026” into the design.
4. No AI Artwork
No AI-generated artwork is allowed. All entries must be fully original and created by the person submitting them.
5. Keep It Original
Franchise artwork is okay to use, just not direct copies. For example look at our previous shirt design winners.
See below for last years winners!
