Each year, the Fest has an open call for tshirt designs responding to the visual theme that inspires all of our festival art and visual identity. 

T-shirt designs can be inspired by the theme or one of the prompts included in the outline. We are very open-minded about what the theme may spark creatively and are looking for concepts which explore the theme’s ideas visually. 

It is free to submit your design concept and if selected, you receive either 2 Classic passes or a small cash stipend. Our merch team will work with you after selection to ensure the final design is the best representation of your concept. We ask that applications include at least one reference/design image, either a jpg or pdf, and selected designs will need to be delivered as illustrator files. 

Submissions open in the Fall and successful applicants are informed by early January each year.
