Now in its 14th year, the Special Sauce Design Contest is the longest running Sauce for a Cause program. The contest came about to bring our fans into our creative process. Since then, it has evolved into a community-building event that has fostered participation on many levels: from creating and submitting a design, to voting on favorites, and finally purchasing the hat and supporting a charity.
This year, we’ve decided to change how the winners of our contest are selected. Rather than open voting, the team here at Sauce will be selecting the winning design in our Adult and Youth divisions. Our decision will be based on our knowledge and experience of what will lead to a hat design that will appeal to the broadest segment of our audience, and in turn, lead to a greater contribution toward the winner’s chosen charity. The design submission may be used exactly as presented or selected for the concept; subject to creative license from our design team as we bring the idea to life!
So get ready to draw, color, paint, illustrate your hat to life! Artists of all ages and abilities, from near and far, have been contest winners – and you could be too!
