The Year of the Snake begins! Design a t-shirt and win VIP tickets

Misc.

Colours of Ostrava will shine a spotlight on Asian culture this year in all its forms – whether through musical performances, workshops, or lectures. We would also like to reflect this theme in our merchandise. That’s why we’re celebrating the beginning of the Year of the Snake with a limited edition of T-shirts. And what will they look like? That’s up to you! Create your own design and win VIP tickets and a cash prize.

We would be delighted if you created a design featuring snake symbolism, making you an official part of the festival. It’s simple: be original and showcase your skills in painting, drawing, photography, collage, or graphic design. Submissions must be in high-resolution format (.jpg or preferably .png) suitable for printing.

  • You can find the full contest brief here.
  • You can find the complete contest rules here.

From the submitted designs sent by February 21st to spoluprace@colours.cz (preferably via a link to an online storage platform), we will select a final five. A public vote will then determine the winner. The winning design will be printed on official festival T-shirts, and the creator will receive 2 VIP tickets to Colours of Ostrava 2025 along with a cash prize of 10,000 CZK. The remaining finalists will each win two standard four-day festival tickets.

A special award will also be presented by Patriot magazine, whose representatives will select one design to feature on the cover of their upcoming summer issue dedicated to Colours of Ostrava. With this in mind, you may want to consider a well-thought-out visual concept. The only requirement is that your design is original and includes the symbol of a snake. Whether you incorporate traditional Chinese motifs, folklore elements from Moravia and Silesia, lucky numbers, or the colour red is entirely up to you. There are no limits to creativity!

We wish you 福 (good fortune)! May the colours be with you!
