2025 Tee-Shirt Design Contest Sponsored by Kinross Alaska
Announcing the 2025 Tee Shirt Design Winner: Naomi Hutchquist
We're so excited to announce this year's Tee Shirt Design Contest winner: Naomi Hutchquist!
Her bold, retro-inspired design captures the vibrant spirit of summer in Fairbanks-featuring iconic downtown landmarks, the flowing Chena River, and our glowing midnight sun.
“For my logo design, I tried to capture the spirit of summer in Fairbanks... The stylized flowing river mirrors the retro striped pattern found in the sun, and accentuates the energetic atmosphere, nostalgia, and local community pride of the Midnight Sun Festival.”
A big thank you to Kinross Alaska for sponsoring this beloved tradition and catch these limited-edition tees at the festival on June 21, 2025!
End Time: 12:00 pm - Midnight
