What's the theme?

Transit allows everyone to easily travel to their next adventure. Show us what “Riding Transit with Friends” means to you.

How to enter

  1. Capture a high-quality photo of your artwork.
  2. Submit your artwork by completing the form below by October 20th!

Here are some tips for making sure your photo is clear, sharp, and full size:

  • Use your phone’s regular camera at full resolution (don’t use screenshot, filters, or low-res modes).
  • Take the photo in good, even lighting — natural daylight is best.
  • Hold your phone steady and avoid zooming in. Move closer instead to focus on the template space.

IMPORTANT: Hang on to your original artwork as you may be asked to provide it.
