The Carolina Panthers invite schools to kick off the new season and show your Panthers Pride with the Carolina Panthers Spirit Rocks! Art Contest. Schools are encouraged to create a Carolina Panthers-themed design on their iconic school rocks between August 10, 2026 to September 4, 2026. Photos of your school's rock design can be submitted with top rocks earning grant funding from Panthers Charities to support school art programs. The first 50 schools to register through the link below will receive a $100 gift card to kickstart their project.

Once completed, please submit up to two photos of your painted school rock at the link below.

The top four rocks, voted on by members of the Carolina Panthers Kickoff Committee, will then be voted on by YOU on Panthers.com from September 7th through September 10th. The winning rock will be announced on September 11th. The winner will be recognized during the Carolina Panthers home opener against the Chicago Bears on September 13th at 1:00PM!
