We are excited to announce our very first Annual Shirt Design Contest, open only to our members! This is a fun way to publicize our organization and broadcast the JCMGA name. It’s time to flex our creative skills and appeal to the garden enthusiasts in our community!
The Ideal Shirt Design Would Include, But is Not Limited To:
- A focus on native plants
- Native pollinators represented
- The garden depicted from under the soil to the sky
- Jackson County Master Gardeners name included
- A design that looks good in one or two colors to minimize production costs
- A design for the front of the shirt, with the JCMGA logo to be added at the bottom by the vendor
Time Frame:
- Members submit their designs by August 1, 2025
- Board reviews and selects winning design
- Winner is announced in The Garden Beet
- Quotes for production costs are solicited
- Shirts are ordered and made available to sell at the Fall Plant Sale on 9/27/25
Personal satisfaction will be earned by the chosen winner of the contest, along with name recognition and designer credit, and their Bio featured at the sale. The winner will also receive a free shirt as a huge thank you for their time and talent.
So please try your hand at creating a design that portrays the garden and the critters that we hold so dear as members of JCMGA, and have some fun with it!
