Designer/Curator: Emily Giffin Name of Design: Lucky Bib Non-profit of Choice: City of Refuge Emily worked with her three children (Edward 15, George 15, and Harriet 11) - all runners – to come up with the concept for this design. “Like all families, mine enjoys many special traditions on the holidays,” said Giffin. “But our favorite, by far, is running the AJC Peachtree Road Race on the Fourth of July in Atlanta, the best running community in the world!" As an author by trade, she brought in a past champion to bring the design to life. Tina Tait, an Atlanta-based graphic designer who won the AJC Peachtree Road Race T-shirt contest in 2015, did the artwork on this entry. Just like the Peachtree, Tina is also turning 50 this year. Held annually on July 4 in Atlanta, Georgia, The AJC Peachtree Road Race is the largest running event in the United States and the largest 10K in the world. Registration is available March 15-31 with members of Atlanta Track Club receiving a guaranteed spot. All others will be entered into a lottery. More details can be found at atlantatrackclub.org.

Designer/Curator: Atlanta Braves Name of the Design: 50 and Still Feelin’ Peachy. Non-profit of Choice: Atlanta Braves Youth Baseball “It’s a huge honor if this is the design that's chosen,” said Insung Kim, Creative Director for the Atlanta Braves. “50 years is a long time and I think it's a great, significant marker for any event or any organization. The Braves are happy to be a part of it especially since you've got an Atlanta icon with the AJC Peachtree Road Race and the Braves as another Atlanta icon.” The Braves are at home at SunTrust Park on the evening of July 4, facing the Philadelphia Phillies. They hope you’ll be in the stands wearing the shirt they designed.

Designer/Curator: Harry the Hawk Name of Design: Celebrating Every Step Non-profit of Choice: Atlanta Hawks Foundation “Being born and raised in the city of Atlanta, and being a huge fan of the Atlanta Track Club ever since I was a baby bird, it would be a huge honor for my design to be chosen to represent our city, my organization, and Atlanta Track Club,” said Harry the Hawk in a written statement (because he doesn’t talk). “The AJC Peachtree Road Race is such a great 'True to Atlanta' tradition, and I am excited about taking part in this summer's race. Everyone knows I can dance and I can dunk, and now, they'll know that I can draw. This design is inspired by the very first Peachtree Road Race and celebrates the proud, final step of crossing the finish line.”
