National Patch Project PDF

Help young people feel valued, supported and celebrated: design a patch!

Calling All Young Artists!

We’re thrilled to be part of National Patch Day in collaboration with the Oliver Patch Project! This is your chance to design a fun, kid-friendly patch that will go to children, teens, and young adults facing medical and mental health challenges — helping them feel valued, supported, and celebrated.

Who can submit: Young people 18 and under

How to submit: Download the PDF with all instructions from our website. The link is in the comments.

Art guidelines:

• Use up to 8 bold solid colors
• Text is optional, but if you want, include the word “Elevate”
• Include a mountain theme — our mountains symbolize a huge problem we can tackle together
• Keep it simple and bold — these look best as patches
• No scary, negative, or creepy imagery (e.g., skulls, cancer ribbons, awareness symbols, or medical imagery)
• Original artwork only — no copyrighted characters like Disney, Marvel, Pokémon, etc.

📅 Deadline: March 23, 2026, 12pm EST

We can’t wait to see your creative designs! Your patch could bring joy and encouragement to kids and teens across the country.
