Open Call: Proposals for 2026 Swim Card Artwork

NAA Competitive Swimming announces the launch of its 2026 Community Art Initiative, a new creative project which invites NAA members, particularly children and youth, to propose artworks for the front of the 2026 swim cards.

For decades, swim cards have been a familiar and essential part of the summer competitive swimming experience, used by hundreds of swimmers, coaches, and volunteers each season. For 2026, NAA Competitive Swimming is turning that tradition into an opportunity to showcase our communities, creativity, and pride in community-first NAA Competitive Swimming Programme.

A Celebration of Sport, Art, and Community

Participants are invited to submit original artwork that reflects their summer pool, the NAA community, and the spirit of competitive swimming.

One (1) artwork will be selected to appear on the official 2026 swim card. In addition, the submitted artworks will be showcased throughout the 2026 season on the Competitive Swimming website and social media platforms.

Submission Details

The submission deadline is April 4, 2026.

Members of the community are encouraged to participate, share the initiative, and help make the 2026 season one that truly reflects the creativity and spirit of the NAA.
