🎨 Summer T-Shirt Design Competition

☀️ A Creative Summer Challenge for Kids – Design a T-Shirt & Win!

This summer, we’re handing over the design reins to the real creatives…your kids!

We’re inviting children and teens to take part in our SpeedStitch Summer Tshirt Design Competition by designing their very own t-shirt, inspired by the theme:

“What Summer Means to Me”

Whether it’s sunshine, seaside days, festivals, family time, or just that first ice cream of the day – we want to see their summer, their way.

It’s completely free to enter, and the winners from each age group will get their design professionally printed onto a t-shirt to wear with pride – plus a feature on our social media!


👶 Age Categories

  • Early Artists (5 & under)
  • Junior Creators (6–10 years)
  • Teen Visionaries (11–15 years)
  • Young Designers (16–18 years)

Age as of 22nd August 2025


🏆 What You Could Win

  • The winning design from each age category will be printed onto a real t-shirt (in the winner’s size)
  • Winners will also be featured on our website and social media
  • Honourable mentions will be shared too – so get designing!
