Design: Must be for the back of our gold Caring Force t-shirt and have a title. We will be selecting a title from one of the designs or from social media as our 15th Anniversary tagline for marketing purposes. A selection of the tagline does not mean winning the design contest.
Required theme: 2027 marks The Caring Force’s 15th anniversary, so we want submissions that celebrate it. Elements like our logo, QT the Bear, rally imagery or the State House are highly encouraged! Click here to view images for inspiration.
Dimensions: If sketching by hand, use a standard 8.5″ x 11″ sheet in portrait orientation and please fill most of the page. For quality, please scan to submit your designs as opposed to taking photos.
Colors: You may incorporate up to 3 colors, and remember, any blank space will print as yellow.
Format: Designs can be digital or hand-drawn. No AI-generated or AI-edited artwork will be accepted. All designs must be 100% original and created by you.
You must have approval from your organization’s President/ CEO/ Executive Director before submitting.
Submit by Friday, September 11, 2026.
Not required, but encouraged: Share your design on social media and tag @TheCaringForce — we’ll be featuring submissions ahead of voting!
