FIFA is bringing its international stage to Texas and its offering local artists a chance in that spotlight.

FIFA World Cup 26 is currently seeking Texas-based artists to submit “Host City posters” for the future matches. The premise is easy to explain, but hard to capture, which is a sign of a fun contest in our book.

Artists must make a poster that represents Dallas and the city’s connection to soccer. That’s it. Creativity is encouraged here, however there are some general rules for anyone looking to submit:

  • Artists must be 18+ years old.
  • Artists must be able to prove they live in Texas.
  • Submissions must be made by Monday, Nov. 11.

There’s more good news, too. If you don’t like your first submission, no sweat. You can submit multiple posters throughout the contest. Three finalists will receive $2,500 for their efforts + one winner will receive an additional $5,000.
