CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Today, the Carolina Panthers announce the launch of the Panthers Spirit Rocks! Art Contest presented by Lowe’s. Panthers Spirit Rocks! is an art contest which celebrates the kickoff of the 2025 NFL Season and invites schools to show off their Panthers pride by creating a Carolina Panthers-themed design on their iconic school rocks between August 27 – September 12.
The program provides an opportunity for schools to submit a photo of their rock’s design for the chance to earn grant funding from Carolina Panthers Charities to support their school art programs. Grants will be awarded to the Top 10 placed schools with the winning school receiving $2,500 and the other nine schools receiving $1,000.
Once the contest closes on September 12, the Carolina Panthers Kickoff Committee will select four rocks to move on to the final round. Open fan voting will take place for the final four rocks on Panthers.com from September 15 – 19.
The winner will be recognized during the Carolina Panthers home opener against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, September 21 at 1:00 P.M.
Lowe’s will provide gift cards for the first 50 schools to register. For additional details on how to register in the Panthers Spirit Rocks! Program presented by Lowe’s, please visit this link.
