The Texas Crab Festival Committee received five outstanding entries in the annual TCF T-shirt design contest for 2023. Although the judges were challenged with all the excellent artwork, the winning designs were selected. The first place design will be printed on the official 2023 Texas Crab Festival T-shirt which will be available for purchase as early as next month. The runner-up design will be printed on the “Crab Patrol” T-shirts worn by all volunteers at the festival. A Big Thanks to all the artists who participated in this time honored TCF tradition.
Congratulations to the winners!
Winner – Jerry Goen
Jerry is a graphic designer by trade. His family had a place near Rollover Pass and he began visiting Bolivar at an early age where he would fish and spend lots of family gatherings. But, like so many others, Hurricane Ike changed all that. He has hopes to rebuild a home on the very same lot, with the intention of living there permanently, creating art design and putting down roots in the Bolivar Peninsula Community.
