Design the Legacy: Our First Community T-Shirt Contest!

At Chingon Legacy, we believe that being "Chingón" isn’t just about style—it’s about community, hustle, and uplifting those around us. Since launching our store, our mission has been to create a platform that reflects our shared heritage and identity.

Now, we want to put the "Legacy" in your hands.

We are officially launching our Community Design Contest. We aren't just looking for a cool graphic; we are looking for a creative partner. We want to feature your art on our website, share your story, and ensure you get paid for your talent.

How It Works

We’ve kept the process simple so you can focus on the art:

1. Create: Design an original t-shirt graphic that embodies the spirit of Chingon Legacy.

2. Submit: Send your high-resolution files to Info@chingonlegacy.org by April 13, 2026.

3. Vote: The community in our socials will choose the top 3, and one final vote for the winner on our social medias!

4. Launch & Earn: The winning design will be sold on our online store. You keep the rights to your art, and we pay you a fee for every single shirt sold.

The Reward: Sustainable Support

We believe artists should be paid fairly. The winner will receive a per-shirt fee for every unit sold after the cost of goods. This isn’t a one-time prize; it’s a partnership. As long as your design is selling, you are earning.
