Call for Artists

The Kelowna Chiefs are a Kootenay International Junior Hockey League club who were established in 2010. The Chiefs Junior Hockey Club is committed to ensuring players are recognized by teams at higher levels for their strong play and dedication to skill development, leadership and competitiveness.

They have partnered with WFN on an exciting design project to expand their jersey line to include an alternate jersey that will be designed by a syilx/Okanagan artist, and will be worn on special occasions.

Project Description:

The Kelowna Chiefs are looking for an syilx/Okanagan artist to create a unique logo for an alternate jersey that will be worn at special occasion games in the upcoming 2022/23 season. The logo should demonstrate what "Chief means to you". This does not have to be an updated version of the current logo, but a personal description of the symbolic or historical meaning of the word "Chief".

• Please provide a full colour logo in either .jpeg, .png, .ai, .eps or vector format.
• Artists are required to include with their submission, a letter stating that the logo will be the property of the Kelowna Chiefs Junior Hockey Club without trademark and they will have unlimited full publishing/usage rights.

Selection and Compensation Process:

The top three designs will be chosen by the Kelowna Chiefs Hockey Club and will be shared across social media channels to be voted on by syilx members and hockey fans. The winning artist will receive $1500 and a commemorative jersey featuring their design.
