Pride Match Design Contest

We are excited to announce the Pride Match Design Contest, inviting artists to contribute to this momentous occasion. We're looking for designs that truly capture the essence of what makes Seattle and Washington so unique:

• A canvas of many identities: Reflecting the rich tapestry of cultures and backgrounds that call our region home.
• Diversity and inclusion as a core value: Showcasing Seattle's unwavering commitment to embracing all.
• A leader in LGBTQ+ Rights: Highlighting our city's proud history of advocating for equality.
• A community supportive of queer athletes: Celebrating the spirit of athleticism and inclusivity.

We are specifically calling on artists with experience and credibility to authentically represent the LGBTQ+ community. Whether through your own identity, life experiences, or demonstrated allyship, your unique perspective is invaluable in creating a design that truly resonates.

This is more than just a contest; it's a chance to contribute to a global statement of inclusivity. Up to three finalists will receive a $2,500 fee for their incredible work. The winning design may be incorporated into SeattleFWC26’s citywide celebration as our region prepares to host the world’s largest sporting event.

We encourage designs that are both inspiring and thought-provoking, seamlessly blending the excitement of FWC26 with the powerful message of LGBTQ+ inclusivity. This is your opportunity to help shape a legacy that will be seen and remembered worldwide.
