2025 Tee-Shirt Design Contest
Sponsored by Kinross Alaska
We’re so excited to announce this year’s Tee Shirt Design
Contest winner: Naomi Hutchquist!
Her bold, retro-inspired design captures the vibrant spirit
of summer in Fairbanks—featuring iconic downtown
landmarks, the flowing Chena River, and our glowing
midnight sun.
“For my logo design, I tried to capture the spirit of summer
in Fairbanks... The stylized flowing river mirrors the retro
striped pattern found in the sun, and accentuates the
energetic atmosphere, nostalgia, and local community
pride of the Midnight Sun Festival.”
A big thank you to Kinross Alaska for sponsoring this
beloved tradition and catch these limited-edition tees at
the festival on June 21, 2025!
