The Willamette Humane Society wants your best pet-themed artwork.

The shelter is holding a t-shirt design contest ahead of its annual WillaMutt Strut fun run and fundraiser, scheduled to take place on June 6, according to a news release.

Through May 5, artists can submit digital artwork for the shirt to [email protected] with the subject line “WillaMutt Strut T-shirt Contest Entry.” Entries should be a high-resolution (300 dpi) PDF, JPEG or Adobe Illustrator file. Hand-drawn entries are not accepted.

The winning design will be printed on t-shirts given to all ticketed participants in the Strut. A winner will be announced May 10, and receives five shirts, plus bragging rights.

The WillaMutt Strut will be a virtual 5K this year, with games and contests entrants can participate in from home. To register or get more information, visit the Willamette Humane Society website.
