The Meltdown t-shirt design should tell our story of “We Are All Together” through creative ingenuity. The winner of our design contest will be chosen by the Meltdown staff and will receive two (2) VIP passes to Meltdown Music Festival, two (2) t-shirts of their own design, one (1) parking pass, and the chance to have their artwork available for sale at the festival and promoted on all our social media outlets.

The festival will take place at QuikTrip Park, Grand Prairie, TX on Saturday, April 27, 2013. The theme for 2013 is “We Are All Together” and you can link to the festival at MeltdownDallas.com.

Deadline for submissions is Monday, April 15, 2013 and one (1) winner, who must be 17+ on the day of the event, will be announced Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Good luck. We’re looking forward to seeing your entries!
