Call for Merchandise Design

A century ago, women donned pins and sashes to draw attention to the cause of women’s right to vote. More than just accessories, in a time before social media, women used their fashion to express their opinions and build support for the suffrage movement. What will we wear in 2019 and 2020 as we celebrate those who came before?

The Indiana Women’s Suffrage Centennial invites Hoosier designers, creatives and vendors to propose designs for t-shirts, tote bags and other items for a new online marketplace on the Indiana Women’s Suffrage Centennial website starting in Fall 2019. Our goal is to engage the creative community in this significant anniversary and to create opportunities for Hoosiers to express their excitement and celebration of the women’s suffrage centennial by purchasing items from Indiana entrepreneurs and designers.

Selected designs will be featured in the online shop; we do not plan to maintain an inventory but rather link back to the designer or vendor’s online shop/order information. Designers retain copyright of their designs and are welcome to sell items online and in shops around Indiana.
