Please submit your best Utah or radio-themed artwork to katie.swain@usu.edu for a chance to have your design printed on the 2021 mug.

Submissions are due by Friday, February 19, 2021

Then, check back so you can vote on your favorite designs. The top design will be printed on the 2021 mug, which will be available during our Spring Member Drive in March.

About the Competition

What does Utah Public Radio mean to you? What do you see when you listen on your radio, in your car, on your phone or online? Your design should be an interpretation or appreciation of UPR, its programming, and/or the station's home in Utah.

All styles of artwork from cartoon to watercolor to photography and beyond are welcome.

We would love to see you incorporate the year (2021), UPR, Utah Public Radio, or other relevant text into your design. You can even incorporate our logo!
