Dairy Arts Center Tote Bag Design Competition

The Dairy Arts Center is seeking submissions for an official tote bag design from local artists. The design should celebrate the spirit of Boulder, including its rich history, diversity, and vibrant arts scene, and must reference The Dairy Arts Center in some way. Designs may be playful, abstract, minimalist, intricate, or any other style, and should be fun, thought-provoking, and original.

This opportunity is open to Colorado-based artists of all ages, backgrounds, and career stages. All mediums are welcome, including hand-drawn illustrations, paintings, and digital artwork. Submissions are accepted from August 8 through September 12, 2025. Files must be submitted in JPEG or PNG format, CMYK color mode, with minimum 300 dpi resolution. One design per artist. Works must be original, unpublished, and created by humans with no AI-generated elements.

A panel selected by The Dairy Arts Center will review all eligible designs and select one winner. The winning artist will receive a $200 cash prize, a tote bag featuring their design, and public recognition through The Dairy Arts Center's website, social media, and promotional channels.
