Biloxi invites artist to design Christmas shirt

The Biloxi Visitors Center is calling on local artists to showcase their creativity in the 2025 Biloxi Christmas T-shirt Art Contest.

“We’re continuing this cherished tradition to celebrate the incredible talent in our community,” said Onnie Gazzo, Biloxi Hospitality Manager. “This contest gives local artists a chance to showcase their creativity in a fun and unique way — after all, there’s nothing quite like seeing your own artwork come to life on a T-shirt.”

Artists are encouraged to submit original artwork that features the iconic Biloxi Lighthouse with a festive Christmas theme. All artistic mediums are welcome, but designs must be suitable for T-shirt printing. Only one entry per artist will be accepted. There is no size restriction, but it must be appropriate for printing on a T-shirt. There is also no entry fee to participate.

Submissions are due Saturday, Nov.1, and should be sent digitally to ogazzo@biloxi.ms.us. The winning design will be announced on Friday, Nov. 7.
