How It Works

This contest is open to all Vermont artists. Participants are encouraged to create designs that incorporate elements of the shared mission of the Intervale Center and City Market, and reflect the food, people and places that make Vermont’s local food movement so unique. We are open to any style that will replicate well onto fabric. After a winning design is selected (see below), the design will be screen printed onto t-shirts and sold to benefit the Intervale Center’s non-profit work. In the future, the design may also be utilized on other merchandise like sweatshirts, kids shirts, hats, tote bags, and posters.

Intervale Center Mission: The Intervale Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to strengthen community food systems. Founded in 1988, the Center manages 360 acres of farmland, trails and open space along the Winooski River in Burlington, Vermont. In this unique place – the beautiful and beloved Intervale – we demonstrate multi-functional land use, showing how sustainable agriculture, conservation and recreation can co-exist in an urban setting. Through our innovative mix of programs and social enterprises, we are leading the community food revolution in Vermont and beyond. We believe in the power of good food to change the world. We are working to replace the industrial food system, which is anonymous and environmentally and socially destructive, with a community food system, which is familiar, human-scaled, and restorative of both human and natural communities.
We accomplish our mission by advancing three high level goals – enhancing farm viability, promoting sustainable land use, and engaging the community in the food system.

  • The local food system is strengthened;
  • The cooperative model is supported; and
  • Our owners have a sense of pride in their cooperative.

The Co-op works to support its Global Ends by implementing a variety of community outreach projects. Our goal is to provide low-income consumers with access to progressive, social, and healthful choices through education and outreach and to specifically reduce childhood hunger in Burlington.
