Submissions open for YAHO Art Contest

Broadly, they’re looking for creative depictions of the phrase “You Always Have Options.” The phrase should be highly readable and designs should avoid minute detail, as they don’t translate well to screen printing. The design itself is up to you! It’s totally ok if it’s just text, but it can also include additional graphic elements.

Funding Information

• The first place winner will receive $1500 and the winning design will be printed on a limited run of t-shirts.
• Two runners-up will each receive $250, and the designs will be printed on a limited run of stickers.

Eligibility Criteria

• They encourage submissions from artists outside of the US.

Selection Criteria

• A selection of top images will be chosen by the YAHO cohort.
• The winner will be chosen from among these selections by an online popular vote.
• They will directly share information on online voting with all artists who submit work.

Application Requirements

• Designs should be a maximum of two colors. Please note, if your design uses more than two colors they will not be able to use it for a t-shirt print and you will not be able to win the contest!
• Initial submissions should be sent as jpegs. When a winner is chosen, they will contact the artist for a high-resolution version of the artwork for printing. Please be sure to have both options available.
• Please use your name or artist name and the name of the artwork to name your files. Example: JohnDoe-YouAlwaysHaveOptions.jpg. If you are submitting multiple files, please add numbers to your file names [JohnDoe-YouAlwaysHaveOptions01.jpg]
