Do you draw? Paint? Animate? We have the perfect opportunity for you!
Join the open call for submissions to design “Duggie,” a mascot for Denver Urban Gardens (DUG).
We’re inviting artists of all ages and skill levels to create artwork inspired by the work we do across metro Denver in our community gardens and food forests.
If your artwork is selected, it will be featured as this year’s Spring Plant Sale screen-printing design — plus, the winner will be invited to the event and receive a gift card to shop!
🖌 How It Works
- Submit a PNG of your color artwork to [email protected] by 5pm MT on April 13th
- Use the subject line: “DUG Mascot Design”
- In your email body, include:
- Your full name (or the name you’d like recognized)
- Your Instagram handle, if applicable
- The DUG team will review all submissions mid-April
- The winning artwork will be announced on Instagram (@denverurbangardens) on Earth Day, April 22nd
- Winner is invited to DUG’s Spring Plant Sale on May 8th and 9th and receives a gift card to shop!
Please note that, by submitting, you agree to rework/reformat your design to fit the needs of our screenprinter. DUG will own the rights to the design for use in perpetuity.
🌿 Why Participate?
