UT Grand Prix 2024 T-Shirt Design Competition Launches Today
Global apparel retailer UNIQLO announces
the launch of the UT Grand Prix 2024 T-Shirt Design Competition, using T-shirts
as a blank canvas to freely express ideas with graphics and messages. Entries are
invited from around the world on the theme of “DISCOVERIES OF THE LOUVRE” with
submissions accepted starting today. UNIQLO
and the Musée du Louvre formed a partnership in 2021 including a series of collaborative
collections from UT, as well as support from UNIQLO for educational programs
held at the Louvre. This competition is made possible by the Louvre and UNIQLO,
which share a common desire to convey the wonders of historical art to people
around the world.

A unique theme that includes all the artworks in the Louvre (except the exterior of the Louvre, the Louvre Pyramid, the Louvre logo, and works not in the public domain) |
For more than eight centuries, the Louvre has
been a place of inspiration for all manner of creators, from artists and
architects to dancers and musicians. It remains so today, and all works from the
museum's extensive collection can be used as a source of inspiration in this
competition. Contestants are invited to discover the entirety of the Louvre’s collections by freely creating designs using the
museum’s artworks, including its lesser-known works,
thanks to the website collections.louvre.fr, a platform launched by the Louvre on 2021 that
brings together all of the museum’s artworks in one place.
