The City of Winter Haven has launched Creative Threads, a T-shirt design contest aimed at fostering and recognizing local talent across all age groups.
The contest is open through Sept. 15. Entries are divided into five age categories: 7 and under; 8 to 12; 13 to 18; 19 to 24; and 25 and older. The city welcomes diverse perspectives and creative interpretations of what makes Winter Haven special to each participant.
Submissions may be turned in at Winter Haven City Hall or via email to Tishawna Soleyn at tsoleyn@mywinterhaven.com. The winning designs will be selected by the Cultural Arts Advisory Committee and the Library Advisory Board. Winners will be honored at an upcoming City Commission meeting.
