Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary is calling on all the artists in the Cochrane area for their t-shirt design contest. The first annual Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary Creative Arts Contest has launched on their Instagram page and runs until July 31, 2020.

Sanctuary manager Alyx Harris says everyone at the Sanctuary is excited to see how creative people can be. "We're really, really excited to see what everyone has got! We've created this contest called our creative arts contest and we're calling all artists, creators and canine wolf-dog lovers, to help us design a new t-shirt design that will be actually selling in our gift shop."

To participate in the contest, all you have to do is post your design to Instagram using the hashtag #YWSCAC. The top 10 designs will be chosen, then voted on by the public. The voting will narrow it down to a top three and the winner will be hand-picked by the team at the Sanctuary.

Artists are being advised that for printing purposes, the design should be limited to four colours or less. 

"Of course the winner will also get a t-shirt of their very own and they'll get to see their work actually showcased on a t-shirt."

The funds from selling the t-shirt and all items in the Yamnuska Wolfdog Sanctuary gift shop go towards the care and well-being of all the wolfdogs currently calling the sanctuary home.
