Breeders’ Cup Contest to Benefit COVID-19 Relief Efforts

[Wandering Eyes]

The Breeders’ Cup has launched a T-Shirt design contest designed to support industry workers in need while simultaneously building momentum for the organization’s 2020 World Championships. Fans are invited to create a T-Shirt design to be produced and sold on BreedersCupShop.com. Breeders’ Cup will donate all its proceeds from sales of the winning T-Shirt design to support the various backstretch communities and other industry stakeholders across the country who have been most heavily impacted by COVID-19.

Submissions will be accepted until May 31 at 11:59 p.m. ET. The top five finalists will then be selected from all entries and unveiled to the public June 1. Fans will then be able to vote for their favorite designs at BreedersCup.com/contest. Total fan votes will be used by a judging panel to select the winning artist, who will be awarded two VIP tickets to the 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, taking place Nov. 6 and 7 at Keeneland.

“As we gear up for the 2020 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, we cannot ignore the impact that the pandemic has had on the horse racing industry, especially the backstretch community, which serves as the backbone of our sport,” said Drew Fleming, President and CEO of Breeders’ Cup. “Through the Breeders’ Cup T-Shirt Design Contest, we hope to energize our fans and give them a chance to give back to those in need. We’re excited to see all the creativity our fans have to offer, and we’re incredibly thankful for the opportunity to extend a helping hand to those in need.”
