2024 Quiz Graphic Arts
Shirt Showdown Champion: Run of the Weenies
SHIRT SHOWDOWN Champions in their winning t-shirt/bandana design: (l-r) Jason Jonak, Brinn Stam, Kelly Jonak and Dachshunds, Chip and Bella.
The inaugural Quiz Graphic Arts "Shirt Showdown" was a huge success! Almost 2,200 votes were tallied in the contest between the final two contestants: Holy Heifer: This Ain’t Texas (Woo!) and Run of the Weenies.
Congratulations to the 2024 Champion: Run of the Weenies. This “You Should’ve Seen My Wiener in Action!” design was an absolute hit!
A senior at Ord High School, Brinn Stam and her family were inspired by their two Dachshunds, Bella and Chip, to form Run of the Weenies. This organization was first created in 2023 to provide an additional event for the annual North Loup Popcorn Days Celebration. As you may guess by the name, their event includes wiener dog races as well as a costume contest. Last year’s design was not limited to shirts; it was also printed on bandanas that adorned the racers!
Thank you to all the businesses and organizations for your patronage in order to facilitate the first-ever Quiz Graphic Arts sponsored Shirt Showdown!
