We are inviting our Special Olympics Athletes to design a t-shirt for the 2025 National Summer Games that will become part of the official Games Merchandise Range.
I want to enter! What do I need to know?
- Only athletes registered with a Special Olympic club can enter the competition, please only submit one design per athlete. You don’t have to be attending NSG to enter.
- T-shirt designs must fit within A4 dimensions (210mm x 297mm) can be created using any medium— hand-drawn, digitally designed or painted. Let your imagination lead the way!
- T-shirt designs need to be created by you, rather than using copyrighted materials, photographs or brand logos. Avoid using anything that belongs to someone else.
- Entries close at 6pm on 26 May 2025.
- Judges will announce the winner on 30 May 2025. The selected design will then be refined, developed and made available for purchase on the NSG Merchandise portal.
What are the next steps?
Design a t-shirt and upload your submission through our online form.
