Every year, Tumbleweed Music Festival holds a logo contest. Artists from the community submit their entries, vying for the honor of having their logo design chosen to be the logo of the year. (The chosen artist is also awarded $150, which is a nice bonus.)

The winning logo is used online, in advertisements and posters, and on merch like T-shirts and buttons.

All logos must be submitted by February 15, 2024. 

To enter, fill out the application form found at tumbleweedfest.com/applications/logo-contest-application. 

You can also find all of the rules and submission guidelines there.

Artwork can be submitted by email to tumbleweedsubmissions@gmail.com with the words ‘Logo Contest’ in the subject line, or by snail mail to: Logo Contest, PO Box 1098, Richland, WA 99352.  

Tumbleweed Music Festival says, “The theme for this year's festival is Play Time. The theme has been inspired by the activity of playing, both in the sense of musical instruments AND in the fun and joy which that can inspire.”

The artists’ entries will be judged on the overall design aesthetic, the originality of the logo, how well it can be resized and used on multiple graphic formats, and how well it embodies the theme of Play Time. 

The Tumbleweed Music Festival is on Labor Day weekend: August 29 – 31, 2025.

The Tumbleweed Music Festival is sponsored by Three Rivers Folklife Society and the City of Richland.
