The Atlanta Track Club has announced the five finalists in the 2013 AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt Design Contest. Finalists include four University of West Georgia students and a local artist. The finalists were selected by a panel of judges representing the Atlanta Track Club, the AJC and local graphic artists.

“Every year we are impressed by the talented artists who submit their designs for the contest,” said Tracey Russell, executive director of the Atlanta Track Club. “The unveiling of the AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt design is a highlight of the event every Fourth of July, and we are excited to see which one the public chooses as the winner this year!”

Voting for the 2013 AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt design is open until April 30, 2013 at ajc.com/peachtree. The winning design will be featured on 60,000 AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirts, and will be unveiled on July 4 at the 44th running of the AJC Peachtree Road Race. The winning artist will receive $1,000, and each of the four runner-ups will receive $100 for their efforts.

The Atlanta Track Club, organizer of the AJC Peachtree Road Race, has used the T-shirt Design Contest to determine the design for the Peachtree finisher’s shirt since 1995. The 2012 T-shirt design was created by local graphic designer Rachel Campbell, who incorporated elements that make this event so unique. Last year was Campbell’s first time entering the contest, as well as her first time running the AJC Peachtree Road Race.
