2024 Cheerwine Festival T-Shirt Design Contest
Cheerwine invited high school students across the Carolinas to showcase their creativity and regional pride with a T-shirt design contest for the upcoming 2024 Cheerwine Festival. With an open call to students to use mediums ranging from crayons and markers to digital design software, the contest sought original artwork spotlighting the essence of the Carolinas.
The stakes are high for these aspiring artists, with the winner receiving a $1,000 gift card, a commemorative plaque presented by the Mayor of Salisbury and more. Additionally, the winning student’s teacher will receive $500 to spend on art supplies.
A panel of local judges will choose the top 10 entries based on creativity, artistic skill and incorporation of Carolina pride and the Cheerwine Festival logo. These selected works will be displayed on Cheerwine’s website for public voting (
cheerwine.com/festival-contest/) starting Monday, March 11 through Monday, March 25.
The Cheerwine Festival itself promises to be a vibrant celebration of the soda’s 107-year history, set against the backdrop of historic downtown Salisbury on Saturday, May 18, from noon to 10 p.m. The event will feature live entertainment, Cheerwine-inspired culinary delights and family-friendly activities.
