The Office of Arts, Culture and the Creative Economy has partnered with the Philadelphia Marathon Weekend to launch a design competition for local artists to submit shirt designs for three races that will occur during Philadelphia Marathon Weekend, November 19-21, 2021. We are seeking designs for the following races:

• AACR Philadelphia Marathon
• Dietz & Watson Philadelphia Half Marathon
• Rothman Orthopaedics 8K

Philadelphia-based artists may submit one front-of-shirt design to be considered for each race. Designs should be unique to each of the three races; however, the artists are not required to submit a design for all three races.

The artists of the winning design for each race will have their design featured on the associated race shirt and will each receive a $3,000 prize.

The deadline to submit design proposals is Friday, August 6 before 5:00 p.m. The competition winners will be announced on Monday, August 16.
