Empowering Student Voice Through Design
Thank you to all the incredible students who participated in the 2026 AVID National T-Shirt Design Contest!

From bold concepts to inspiring designs, students showcased their AVID pride and imagination in remarkable ways. We’re grateful to every student and educator who helped make this year’s contest such a success and proud to celebrate the creativity that continues to make the AVID community so special.
