L&T staff report
For the first time ever, people in the Liberal community have the chance to design the Black History Month t-shirt for the month’s 21st anniversary festivities that will be going on in 2025. The contest opened Sept. 1 and the deadline for submissions has been extended to Oct. 20.
The Black History Month theme for 2025 is 'African-Americans in Labor,' and the goal is to highlight the accomplishments of African-Americans in the workforce throughout history. The designs must be submitted as a jpeg, and the contest is open to everyone.
Late entries will not be accepted.
The top ten entries will receive a participation certificate, and the overall winner will receive two tickets to the Rosa Parks Scholarship Banquet in February 2025, a free t-shirt, and they will also be recognized at the 2025 Taste Festival.
The winning design will also be shared on the Black History Committee’s social media accounts and a few other places, and will be forever known as one of the group’s t-shirt designs.
For more information, contact Christine Hammond at (620) 482-6138.
