JOIN THE CHALLENGE
T-SHIRT SHOWDOWN!
Show off your creativity in The Art Club T-Shirt Showdown! Your challenge is to design an original front and back graphic for an Art Club themed T-shirt using the provided blank templates. Whether you create something bold, funny, artistic, or community-focused, this is your chance to design a shirt that represents what The Art Club is all about. Once submissions close, the community will vote for their favorite designs, and a special industry professional guest judge will also select a winner based on creativity, originality, and overall design. All considered designs must be turned in by Oct 24, 2026.
Shirt Templates
Once submissions close, all eligible designs will be shared with The Art Club Discord for voting. The community vote, together with the input of an industry professional guest judge, will determine the winning design.
The winning artist will see their design printed on an official The Art Club T-shirt as part of a limited-edition print run. They'll receive a free T-shirt featuring their artwork and earn revenue sharing from every shirt sold during the limited release. See your shirt worn by the community!
