Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces the launch of the UT Grand Prix 2022 T-shirt design competition starting on Tuesday July 13. Entrants from around the world are invited to submit designs using a T-shirt as a canvas to freely express ideas through graphics and messages. The theme for this contest is Peanuts, the comic strip first published in the U.S. in the 1950s, marking the 100th anniversary of the birth of its creator, Charles M. Schulz.
The Peanuts family will judge your design
The judging panel for the competition features representatives from the Charles M. Schulz Museum and Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates. UNIQLO is seeking designs that freely express the world of Peanuts through such universally beloved characters as Charlie Brown and Snoopy as well as the storylines that touch on life and human nature.
Win an internship at the PEANUTS studio
The Grand Prize winner will receive US$20,000. Grand prize and second prize winners will also be invited for an internship at Charles M. Schultz Creative Associates. Winning designs will be featured in UNIQLO’s 2022 Spring/Summer collections and sold at UNIQLO stores worldwide.
