FIFA World Cup 26 Houston™
POSTER CONTEST
WE ARE ALL SYSTEMS GO.
It's time to launch your creativity into overdrive! The FIFA World Cup 26™ Houston Host Committee is searching for the ultimate poster representing our love for the FIFA World Cup 26™. This is your chance to shine and put H-Town's artistic talent on the global soccer stage!
WHAT IS THE POSTER CONTEST?
The FIFA World Cup™ is more than a sports event—it's a global sensation, and every tournament is etched in history through its legendary official posters. But in 2026, we’re taking it up a notch! For the first time ever, instead of one poster, each Host City will have the chance to craft its own distinctive masterpiece.
We are calling on all Houston artists to express their interest in representing Space City to the world.
Submit your resume or CV, portfolio of work and an optional Expression of Interest, which includes your plans and ideas for the project while communicating your personality, qualifications and enthusiasm for the project.
Three finalists will be selected to create their poster for consideration, with the winning design becoming an emblem etched in history.
So don’t miss your chance to capture Houston's vibrant cultural mosaic, the richness of our communities, and our unwavering passion for the Beautiful Game.
