KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WOKI) – MEDIC Regional Blood Center is inviting the public to help select the winning design for its March 2027 t-shirt campaign.
High school students across the region have spent months creating original artwork for the annual contest, which will determine the official shirt design used during MEDIC’s March 2027 blood donation campaign.
The first round of voting begins October 1 and continues through October 23. During that phase, voters will help narrow the field to the top three designs.
A final round of voting will then take place from October 24 through October 31, allowing the public to choose the overall winner.
The winning design will be announced in November 2026 and will become the official t-shirt featured during MEDIC’s March 2027 promotional campaign.
In addition to seeing their artwork featured throughout the region, the winning student will receive a $500 e-gift card.
