Artists of all ages are encouraged to submit entries for US SAILING's 2009 USA Junior Olympic Sailing Festivals (JO) poster and logo design competition. Each year, over 4,500 youth sailors participate in 25 JO Festivals nationwide. To promote the program, a poster is produced and distributed to about 6,000 sailing organizations and sailors throughout the country. Artwork from the poster is also incorporated on T-shirts, stickers, hats and knit shirts.

The design contest winner will receive a cash prize and name recognition on the poster. The deadline for submissions is December 21. The top three designs will be submitted to a panel of judges and the winning design will appear on the poster, which will be published in March. Additionally, the design will appear on the official program T-shirts and other promotional materials.
