Panthers Launch School Rock Art Contest | Winston–Salem News

The Carolina Panthers are igniting school spirit across the Carolinas with “Panthers Spirit Rocks” — a creative contest where schools paint rocks to celebrate the 2026 NFL season. From August 10 to September 4, schools can submit their designs for a chance to win cash grants: $2,500 for the top winner and $1,000 each for nine others. The first 50 registrants get paint gift cards too. After submissions close, four finalists will be chosen, then voted on by fans from September 7–10. The ultimate winner’s rock design will be featured during the Panthers’ home opener against the Chicago Bears on September 13 — all while boosting arts education and community pride.
