CONTEST DETAILS:

The signature of the winning designer will be included on the shirt as part of the design. The winner will win $250.00 to be awarded on the day of the race.

The first three runner ups will receive gift certificates from race sponsors. A brief bio of each artist will appear in the t-shirt contest gallery on our web site next to the submitted artwork for the top 5 designs.
