The National Archery in the Schools Program (NASPĀ®) is proud to announce the winning student designs for its annual T-Shirt and Trading Pin Design Contest. NASPĀ® invites student archers to showcase their artistic talents by creating original artwork to be featured on official tournament apparel and merchandise. For 2026, students were challenged with the theme "NASPĀ® in the Outdoors."
Drawings, paintings, and digital graphics were submitted online, reflecting the creativity and passion of NASPĀ® students nationwide. For the first time, approved submissions were also made viewable to the public here: https://woobox.com/e47vjv.
The selected artwork will be featured on official shirts worn at NASPĀ® State, National, and Championship Bullseye events, as well as by volunteers supporting NASPĀ® tournaments. This year's winning trading pin design will be available in a limited quantity for trading only at the national events - while supplies last.
A panel of judges carefully reviewed the entries and selected the following winners:
- State T-Shirt Design Winner: Enan Leavitt, NV Clark Eagles Homeschool, Nevada
- National Bullseye T-Shirt Design Winner: Bentley Miller, Nodaway Valley Middle School, Iowa
- Championship Bullseye T-Shirt Design Winner: Alia Hamm, Saltillo High School, Mississippi
- Volunteer T-Shirt Design Winner: Lauren Chuck, Emerald High School, California
- Official Trading Pin Design Winner: Emily Harms, Eldon High School, Missouri
NASPĀ® Program Manager Stephanie Evans, who facilitated the design contest, praised the students' efforts, "Our annual design contest is one of the most fun ways we get to highlight student creativity. For the past four years, we have been amazed by how our archers interpret NASPĀ® through art. There are so many talented NASPĀ® archers across every grade level, and the 2026 theme of 'NASPĀ® in the Outdoors' inspired some incredible and creative designs that celebrate the connection between archery, nature, and student imagination"
The winning students will each receive recognition on the NASPĀ® website and social media channels, and their designs will be seen by thousands of archers, families, and volunteers throughout the tournament season. These winners also received a Genesis bow in the color of their choice!
NASPĀ® extends its thanks to every student who submitted artwork this year and encourages all archers to continue sharing their talents both on and off the range. The National Design Contest will open again September, 2026 ā November, 2026
