The First Ever

Harrietta Blueberry Festival Design-a-Shirt Contest

Our Harrietta Blueberry Festival Design-a-Shirt Contest gives young artists a chance to BLOSSOM! Open to youth ages 5–17, we’re looking for RIPE designs that capture the summer vibes, community spirit, and BLUEBERRY-filled fun of our little festival. The CREAM of the CROP will be selected by the festival board and be on display at the festival, where attendees will PICK their favorite with tickets. The design with the most tickets takes home the BLUE ribbon: a gift basket and a free tee with their SWEET artwork at next year’s fest. Let’s get this BERRY rollin’!
