At Moxie Cycling, we believe that high-performance apparel should do more than just hold up on rugged singletrack—it should tell a story. That’s why we’re thrilled to launch our official Dirt & Ink Artist Call, an open contest to find bold, original artwork for our upcoming small-batch cycling line!

Whether you thrive on fine line illustration, vibrant custom vector graphics, or raw, trail-inspired textures, we want to give your visual voice a canvas on our technical gear.

Why Dirt & Ink?

The Dirt & Ink series sits right at the intersection of dirt-trail grit and artistic expression. We manufacture our apparel right here in Pennsylvania with a focus on premium, high-utility technical fabrics. Partnering directly with independent creators allows us to bring fresh, limited-edition designs to the riding community while celebrating the artists who make culture move.

What the Winning Artist Receives

We respect artists and believe in fair compensation for creative work. The grand prize winner will receive:

• $500 Cash Prize

• $250 Gear Credit + finished production samples of the custom apparel

• 2% Royalty on net sales for every piece sold in the collection

• Full Artist Attribution: Dedicated bio feature on our website, social media spotlights, and your artist name printed on garment hangtags.
