DESIGN CONTEST WINNER!!
Congratulations to Britton McDermott for winning 2021 T-shirt / Logo Design Contest! The winning art submission was voted on by the entire Fleet Feet staff, and we are thankful to have so many great designs to choose from. Thanks to everyone who submitted a design!
Shirt Design Contest
For the first time ever, we are asking you to design our 2021 Turkey Day 8K logo that will be featured on the race shirts this year. The creator of the winning design will receive a free pair of shoes, a free entry to the race, a $50 Fleet Feet gift card, and recognition on social media as the winning designer! Below are the logos for the past 5 years to use as inspiration. Please adhere to the following requirements. Submit designs to peter@fleetfeetjackson.com.
- Design must include a Turkey.
- Design should include the words “Turkey Day 8K” but it does not have too. Those words will be incorporated into the design regardless, so if your design does not have it, please accommodate room for it.
- Design does not have to include Fleet Feet Logo, but it will be in close proximity of your design. Your design can incorporate the Fleet Feet Logo. If you need a copy of our logo, please email us: peter@fleetfeetjackson.com (We have 3 variations of our logo: Grey and Blue, Black, and White.)
- All submitted designs must be a high quality JPEG or PNG of at least 1000 x 1000 pixels. If your design wins, we will need the original vector format.*
- This design will be on a T shirt, so although it can be as wide as you’d like, please keep it neat.
- Limit of 4 colors. A “transparent” color is allowed, but it must be versatile for any background color on a T shirt.
- Must be submitted by 10/1/21
- Winners will be selected by Fleet Feet. We reserve the right to dismiss any design of our choosing.
- All designs once submitted are considered property of Fleet Feet Jackson and we reserve the right to market, publish, and copyright the design. *Vector formats are preferably .eps, but .pdf will work.
