The State Fair of Texas has come and gone, but the opportunity to design a piece of Texas lore has just opened.
Yesterday, the official contest to design Big Tex’s new boots kicked off. Big Tex has been wearing the same Lucchese boots, designed by contest winner Jessica Bonilla of Irving, Texas, since 2023.
Anybody can submit a design. You can either draw, paint, or illustrate the design on the sheets provided on the State Fair Design My Boots page and submit it with the entry form.
Per the Dallas Morning News, contest entries are due by January 31, 2026, and the winning design will be announced March 2, 2026. The winning design will be on display at the Fair for a minimum of 3 years.
