USA Boccia and Boccia United States are excited to announce a T-Shirt Design Contest for the Inaugural Boccia Day in the USA taking place on April 13, 2026. This contest invites athletes, supporters, and community members to showcase their creativity by designing the official commemorative t-shirt that will be sold in the USA Boccia Merchandise Store and worn nationwide during the celebration. 

The theme is “Inclusion in Action”, highlighting boccia as a sport for all abilities. Designs must include the USA Boccia and Boccia United States logos and the text “Boccia Day in the USA and April 13” and should be limited to four colors that work on both white and navy shirts. Submissions should be high-resolution files (PNG, JPG, or vector formats) sized to fit within a 12” x 12” printable area. 

The contest launches on January 15, 2026, with entries due by March 1. Representatives from USA Boccia and Boccia United States will select the top five designs, which will then be shared for public voting from March 10–20. The winning design will be announced on March 25 and featured on the official Boccia Day in the USA t-shirt. The winner will receive recognition across USA Boccia and Boccia United States’ websites and social media channels, complimentary shirts for themselves and one family member, or a $50 gift card.

To obtain copies of the two logos contact the USA Boccia office. Then to enter, participants should email their completed design to usaboccia@gmail.com with the subject line “T-Shirt Contest Submission – [Your Name]”. Designs must not use the word Paralympic or any agitos or trademarks. Entries must include the design file, contact information, and a short description of the inspiration behind the artwork. 

Promotion of the contest will take place across USA Boccia and Boccia United States’ websites, newsletters, social media channels, and partner networks, encouraging widespread participation. Clubs, athletes, and supporters are invited to share designs and voting links to build excitement. Official hashtag for the celebration is #BocciaDayintheUSA.
