T-Shirt Design Contest

2024 T-Shirt Design Contest

Get Creating! Entries DUE April 26, 2024

Once again, PGSF is asking students to help us promote our scholarship program by designing a T-Shirt.

PGSF awarded over 150 college-level scholarships to students ranging in value from $2,000 to $10,000 for this year and the winning T-Shirt design, along with the poster designs, helps promote our scholarship program through the year.

The winner of the T-Shirt contest will receive a $500 check, an award certificate, and will be honored in a national news release, on the PGSF website, and on social media platforms.

New to the 2024 Design Contests:
There are two new rules that have been added to the contest this year:
1. The T-shirt and Poster Contests will have two divisions: one for high school students and one for post-secondary students.
2. We added a design theme to our contests this year to promote Graphic Communications as a program of study and career. Design your T-Shirt using one of these themes:

  • Print is Provocative
  • Print is Spicy
  • Print is Fire

Educators: Please encourage students in your school to enter the PGSF T-Shirt Competition. The competition is open to all students enrolled in primary, secondary schools, and post-secondary colleges and universities, trade, or apprenticeship programs.
