Design for a Cause!

We received over 400 designs inspired from memorable vacations. All of are fresh, fun and creative. Fresh Produce would like to thank all of the participants for their imaginative works and efforts!

Participants had to submit an original piece of artwork that could be developed into a screenprint for Fresh Produce. "My Favorite Vacation" was the theme. Entries came inspired by the ocean, mountains, tropical getaways and memorable moments with the ones they love.

The First Place winner's design will be sold nationally in Fresh Produce stores with a percentage of profits going to a family and education cause of the winner's choice.

First Place Grant Black of Fort Myers, Florida
Grant Black - National Children's Advocacy Center

Grant Black was honeymooning with his wife in San Francisco when the two came across a wonderful Californian Garden. There, Grant's wife spotted her favorite flower: the daisy. After their perfect vacation, Grant decided to paint this beautiful flower for his favorite person, his wife.

This winning design will be produced on Fresh Produce's Extra Fresh Coronado Crew T in colors Skylight and White and on our Fresh Produce Active Crew in colors, White, Skylight and Sunflower. Our anticipated release of the screenprinted tops is July 2007. So keep a look out, because a percentage of the profits go to Grant's great cause, the National Children's Advocacy Center!

Second Place
Joanne's Cause Camp Good Days and Special Times

Joanne first came across Fresh Produce on her favorite vacation. While visiting St. John, Virgin Islands, Joanne felt like her vacation was "heaven on earth" and choosing the right vacation has a lot to do with location, location, location. She says she often looks to Fresh Produce as an inspiration for her own work as an illustrator.

Joanne will also receive a $500 Fresh Produce shopping spree and a $500 donation to her cause, Camp Good Days and Special Times.
