Customers can view 10 finalists’ designs in store or by printing a ballot at talbots.com  from Nov. 5 to 28. Votes can be cast in Talbots locations or via mail. One grand-prize winner gets a $1,000 Talbots Kids shopping spree, a sketching and drawing gift set and their design printed on limited-edition T-shirts. Nine other finalists will receive a $250 Talbots Kids shopping spree and a sketching and drawing gift set.

Entry forms will be available in Talbots stores or online. Submissions will be accepted through Oct. 3.
