REMINDER! FIDDLE & BANGO T-SHIRT DESIGNS DUE SEPTEMBER 3RD

The Columbia Fiddle & Bango T-Shirt Design Contest ends September 3rd! We can’t wait to see what you create!

The 40th Annual Columbia Fiddle and Bango Contest will be held on Saturday, September 28^th at the Gazebo on Main Street in Columbia Historic State Park. The Fiddle and Bango Contest—yes, you read that right the first time—is named so because of a once unfortunate and now serendipitous printing error on the t-shirts at the first contest in 1983. 

As the Fiddle & Bango Contest is open to contestants of all ages, experience, and styles, the T-Shirt Design Contest has decided to adopt the same parameters. Please read below for full contest details and entry requirements. 

T-SHIRT CONTEST ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

• Design must be transferable to a t-shirt. 
• Please submit only one design per contestant. 
• Design can only include two colors for print. The background (t-shirt color) can be considered a separate color (white, black, red, yellow, green, purple, blue, tan or gray). We do not guarantee that any submitted design colors will be matched exactly.
• Please provide your design as a JPEG email attachment. Submit design to columbiafiddlebango@gmail.com.
• The deadline to submit is 11:59pm on Monday, September 2nd. 
• On Tuesday, September 3rd, a design will be chosen by a special committee. Notification will be sent to the artist and the design will be posted later that week. The winner will receive design credit during advanced promotion and at the contest, as well as one free t-shirt of their preferred size.

This event is sponsored by Rock In Road, a local non-profit organization. Rock In Road supports youth music instruction in Tuolumne County. Contest attendance and parking is free.
