COLUMBIA, S.C. — Are you an artist? Have great ideas or a vision?
You might be just what the city of Columbia is looking for in a t-shirt designer.
The city of Columbia is starting what they hope will be an annual t-shirt contest.
There are two categories for submission, a spring and summer design and a fall and winter design. The spring and summer design is short-sleeved and the fall and winter long-sleeved.
Winners will receive $500 for first place and the second place winner will be awarded $250.00.
The t-shirt will be sold in partnership with Experience Columbia SC and the Columbia SC Visitors Center's online store.
Winners will be announced on Feb. 15.
Proceeds from t-shirt sales will be donated to help fund the "Love Your Block" grant.
