Coronado’s annual 4th of July celebration is right around the corner, and to celebrate the city’s sense of community, The Coronado News is hosting an Independence Day t-shirt art contest.
Residents of all ages are invited to submit their original artwork for the chance to have it featured on a t-shirt that will be distributed on the 4th of July.
The only requirement? It must capture the essence of Independence Day in Coronado — whether that’s the parade celebration, firework display, or array of other patriotic activities on the island.
The submission deadline is 12 p.m. on Wednesday, May 27. Along with a free t-shirt and having their artwork featured on shirts distributed on the 4th, the winner’s piece will be published online and in The Coronado News’ print edition.
Contest guidelines
Deadline: Artwork needs to be submitted to newsroom@thecoronadonews.com by 12 p.m. on May 27.
Guidelines: Artwork will be judged based on its ability to capture the essence of the 4th of July in Coronado, whether that’s the parade, leap frog event, concerts, fireworks, etc. All ages are welcome to enter the contest.
Mediums: Accepted mediums are drawings, paintings and digital artwork.
Format: Artwork must be submitted in a JPG, PNG, PDF or TIFF format, meaning artists should take high-quality photos of their hand-drawn artwork or paintings to submit, and graphic design concepts can be entered as a PNG or PDF.
The artist’s signature needs to be included in the artwork itself, not as a separate file.
Prize: The winning artist will receive a free t-shirt with their very own work featured on the front, and the piece will be published in one of our print editions.
For any additional questions, email sofie@thecoronadonews.com or call (619) 990-8465.
