GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. - Grand Rapids Griffins fans and aspiring artists everywhere have less than two weeks to submit their entries for the team's second annual jersey design contest.

Following the success of last season's inaugural competition, in which designs by local artists Brian Oesch (photo right) and Chad B. Stilson (photo left) were chosen from more than 50 entries to grace Grand Rapids' players for two select games, the team will pick one entrant's design for the Griffins to sport during their 14th annual New Year's Eve game on Dec. 31, 2010. These special jerseys will be auctioned to the public immediately after that game, with all proceeds benefiting a to-be-determined charity.

Hockey fans with graphic design skills and a knack for creativity are encouraged to submit their jersey design at puckdrawn.com . Deadline for entries is Sunday, Aug. 1, 2010.

All designs will be presented to Griffins ownership and game operations staff, who will submit one for approval by the American Hockey League and Reebok. The fan whose design is ultimately used will receive a customized jersey of their winning entry, public recognition, and four tickets to the Dec. 31 game. If the winner is from outside the Grand Rapids area, other merchandise will be given in lieu of game tickets.

For more information on the contest, including a gallery of more than 60 current design submissions, please visit puckdrawn.com .
