Tumbleweed Music Festival 2027 Logo Contest

The Tumbleweed Music Festival is seeking artwork/graphic designs to use in promotional materials for the upcoming 2027 festival, which will be held Labor Day weekend (September 3 – 5) at Howard Amon Park in Richland, WA. If chosen, you will see your artwork or graphics on the internet, posters, T-shirts, buttons, fliers, and in print advertisements!

The theme for this year’s festival is “Seasons.” Your logo design should reflect the essence of the theme.

Artwork will be judged on design quality, color, originality, ease of use on multiple graphic forms (T-shirts, posters, advertising), and how well it embodies the theme. The logo must also contain the phrase “Tumbleweed 2027” or the words “Tumbleweed Music Festival 2027,” the words “Richland, Washington,” AND an image of a tumbleweed. Artwork will be judged on design quality, color, originality, ease of use on multiple graphic forms (T-shirts, posters, advertising), and how well it embodies the theme. We do intend that the art be the product of an artist directly, and not made solely with an AI program.

$150 WILL BE AWARDED TO THE ARTIST WHOSE DESIGN IS SELECTED.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

File formats for submitted art: JPG, PNG.

By submitting work and accepting the award, entrants acknowledge the Tumbleweed Music Festival’s right to reproduce images of their work and showcase the winner on Tumbleweed’s websites, social media feeds, print materials, and related products at Tumbleweed events.

The purpose of the contest is to design a logo for the 31st annual Tumbleweed Music Festival for 2027. The winning logo will be used online, in print, and on merchandise. Flexibility is a key requirement, including the ability to resize easily, and to look good in black and white as well as color. The final version of the logo will need to be suitable for high quality printing and screenprinting on t-shirts.

Entrants should take care to ensure that their entries are not in any way similar to existing logos or other copyrighted images.

We also insist that the work be made by the artist, and not wholly created using AI or computer-generated algorithms.

The Tumbleweed Music Festival assumes that all entries are original pieces, and are the work and property of the entrant, with all rights granted therein. The Tumbleweed Music Festival is not liable for any copyright infringement on the part of the entrant, and will not become involved in copyright disputes.

The Tumbleweed Music Festival is produced and presented by the Three Rivers Folklife Association – a 501(c)3 organization.

Despite what may seem like lots of submission guidelines and all the legal mumbo-jumbo below, we highly encourage you to submit your work!!! If we like it, we will gladly work with you to present the very best version possible to the public. (And, if your logo is chosen, you’ll get one of each item we produce that includes the logo!)
