We're just breaking free of winter, but the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services is already thinking and talking turkey - as in next Thanksgiving's 17th annual Run to Feed the Hungry. If you have an artist's or designer's bent, then listen up:
The organization is putting out a call for artwork to grace the front of the more than 30,000 Run to Feed the Hungry T-shirts that are a symbol of the day's charitable run/walk. All you have to do is design a piece of original art that could be used front and center on a standard tee.
"The idea can incorporate anything that you believe captures the spirit of the Run to Feed the Hungry, programs at SFBFS or the Sacramento community during the fall," reads an e-mail. The winning design will be modified, including colors, so it can be used on logos and other promotional materials.
How to submit? Send artwork electronically to artcontest@runtofeedthehungry.com by 5 p.m. April 30. Entries will be accepted in the following formats: Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop; PDF, TIFF, EPS (high resolution). Do NOT send jpgs, gif, Microsoft Word or any non-standard drawing or painting software. Keep in mind: All entries will become the property of the food bank and family services, and there's no compensation for participating. Need ideas?

The winner will be announced this summer.
