Rally of 1 — The Design Contest

This is your open call, your platform, your movement. Submit your artwork, wear your message, and compete for your share of the spotlight — and the profits. But remember: there will only be winners if there is participation. The movement only moves if you do.


How It Works

The Rally of 1 Contest runs in three rounds. Each round accepts design submissions from creators, activists, and changemakers.
