With nine FIFA World Cup 26 matches coming to Dallas-Fort Worth, the organization is calling on local artists to create a signature Host City poster celebrating the city’s spirit and love for the game. Each World Cup Host City will produce its own poster, capturing the essence of football with a local twist.
Three finalists, each awarded $2,500, will be selected from submissions, who will then be presented to FIFA for review. The winning design will earn the title of the official Dallas Host City Poster and a $5,000 prize.
Submissions are open to Texas residents aged 18 and up, with multiple entries permitted. The deadline for entries is Monday, November 11, 2024. Interested artists can register online to receive additional guidelines, including a toolkit, playbook, and timeline.
