Credit Union Cherry Blossom 10 Mile Run & 5K Walk/Run

T-Shirt Art Contest

Kids Run T-Shirt Design Contest

Are you a blossoming young artist or the parent or guardian of one? We are now accepting designs for the 2025 Credit Union Cherry Blossom Kids Run T-Shirt Art Design Competition. The Credit Union Cherry Blossom Kids Run will take place on Saturday, April 5 at 11:00 a.m. at Freedom Plaza  in conjunction with the Credit Union Cherry Blossom 5K presented by ASICS. One of the unique things about our Kids Run is that all participants receive a T- Shirt with artwork on it done by one of the kids!

The due date for submitting artwork is February 17, 2025.

Here are the requirements and some suggestions: 

    • Artists must be between 4 and 10 years of age.
    • Artwork must be original. All 2D media accepted.
    • The artwork must include the name of the race, “Credit Union Cherry Blossom Kids Run”
    • The artwork must include the race date, “April 5, 2025” and “Washington, DC.” This can either be incorporated into the art or appear as text underneath the design. Besides that, we are quite open to different concepts – artists can include or not include cherry blossoms, Memorials, runners, etc. The course is an out-and-back on iconic Pennsylvania Avenue. It starts at Freedom Plaza and ends there. The most notable sight from the course is the U.S. Capitol! This is a chance to unleash your creativity!
    • You may submit more than one design.

Submissions:

The winning artist will receive for use of the artwork:

    • A Visa giftcard for $250
    • A free entry into the Kids Run
    • Official Cherry Blossom race merchandise.
    • The artist and his or her family will receive lodging at the official Race Headquarters hotel and invitations to official race functions on race weekend, April 4 – April 6 (2 nights).

A parent or guardian of the winning artist will need to sign a release governing the terms of its use.

We can’t wait to see some really creative designs! I know it will be hard to choose. Best of luck to all.

Sincerely,
The Credit Union Cherry Blossom Kids Run Team
