Pin Design Contest

Each year, the North Carolina Azalea Festival releases a new Pin Pal design. This collectible pin is sold to Festival supporters and worn throughout the month of April to receive special discounts at participating local businesses.

This year, we are inviting YOU to design the official 2026 Pin!

We encourage bright, bold designs that reflect the spirit of the Festival and, of course, include azaleas. Your design must feature the text “North Carolina Azalea Festival” and “2026.”

The winning artist will receive a $250 cash prize and official recognition at a future Festival event!

Let your creativity bloom. We look forward to seeing your design!

Entries must be submitted via email to info@ncazaleafestival.org, with the subject “Pin Design Contest.” Please include your name, age, phone number, and address in your submission.
