Design the 2011 WAtoday Rottnest Channel Swim T-shirt

Local artists have the opportunity to display their talent in a design competition for the 2011 WAtoday Rottnest Channel Swim official race T-shirt with design entries closing on 3 September 2010.

Regarded as a collector’s item by swimmers and support crew, the iconic long sleeve T-shirt has been produced since 1994. Each year the T-shirt features a bold new design.

"For past swims we received T-shirt designs from interested swimmers, graphic artists and school groups”, said Rottnest Channel Swim Association President Raymond Yong.

“As the wider community has become more interested and involved in the swim, the committee is acknowledging this valuable support by again inviting ideas for the 2011 T-shirt design from across the community," said Mr Yong.

All interested artists are asked to download the Terms & Conditions below which outline the specifications of the design, prizes and judging criteria.

The winning design will be displayed on the 4,500 T-shirts produced for the event and the artist will be featured in the 2011 Race Book. The artist will also win entry into the event, or $500 cash.

“Planning is well under way for the 26 February 2011 event,” said Mr Yong.

“The swim takes many months of preparation to ensure the day runs smoothly and safely, which is always our aim.

“2010 was our best event yet, and we are looking forward to engaging more and more community in the spirit of the swim in future years.

“This competition is one way in which everyone can be involved.”
