The Winnipeg Folk Festival has chosen two winning designs for their T-shirts this year.
Darryl McGarey and Kennedy Zifarelli submitted their designs for the adult and children’s shirts, respectively, after festival organizers put the call out in March.
“We were delighted with the community response to this contest,” said Winnipeg Folk Festival artistic associate Andrea Burgoyne. “We had an incredibly diverse and talented group of applicants and ultimately decided to select two winners.”
