Announcing Saline Main Street's T-Shirt Design Contest!

Saline Main Street's mission to make a difference in our community by making downtown vibrant, and we believe creativity is a powerful force for positive change. That’s why we’re launching an exciting T-Shirt Design Contest inspired by our new tagline: "Be the Solution." This is your chance to showcase your artistic skills, support a great cause, and see your work worn proudly throughout Saline! These T-shirts make our volunteers super visible at ALL of our events! 

What Does "Be the Solution" Mean?

At Saline Main Street, we know that vibrant, thriving communities don’t happen by chance—they happen because people come together to make a difference. Whether it’s supporting small businesses, volunteering at events, or simply spreading positivity, every action counts. "Be the Solution" is a call to action, encouraging everyone to step up and contribute to making downtown Saline a better place. Now, we want YOU to bring this message to life through an original T-shirt design!

How to Participate

We’re calling on artists, designers, and creative thinkers of all levels to submit their best T-shirt design featuring the phrase "Be the Solution." Whether you love bold graphics, intricate illustrations, or simple yet powerful typography, we want to see how you interpret this message. Please remember, the design will be on all of our volunteer T-shirts, proudly worn at ALL of our events. We're open to changing the color of the T-shirt too, so include a background color with your design.
