The Victoria Symphony has launched a contest to find the design for this year’s limited edition Victoria Symphony Splash t-shirt. These T-shirts will be sold to the public to commemorate Symphony Splash – the orchestra’s massive annual summer concert performed on a floating stage in Victoria’s Inner Harbour – with proceeds benefitting the event. “We are introducing The Splashy T-shirt contest to create a special commemorative keepsake of this year’s event. This is a community event, so it seemed only fitting that a member of the community create this limited edition T-shirt. We hope the winning design will represent all the great things about Splash, be a coveted memento of Victoria Symphony Splash 2010 and be the beginning of a new Splash tradition,” said Bethany Wilson, Director of Marketing & Sales of the Victoria Symphony.

The contest is now open, and the deadline for entries is Sunday, June 13, 2010. The winner and their design will be revealed at the Victoria Symphony Splash launch event that will be held at the end of June. The winner receives two contest T-shirts, two Victoria Symphony Splash Grandstand Seats, recognition at Victoria Symphony Splash, recognition in a media release announcing contest winner, a Victoria Symphony 2010/2011 Subscription package and bragging rights!

Victoria Symphony Splash takes place on August 1st this year. The day begins at 1pm with activities for kids on the Provincial Legislature lawn and ends with Victoria Symphony’s performance of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture at 10pm accompanied by fireworks and cannons.
