Creativity Meets Optics
The McCray Optical Supply & United Opticians Association Design Challenge is a creative competition that celebrates artistry, leadership, and unity within the optical industry. Participants are invited to submit an original design for the official UOA cleaning cloth, offering a unique opportunity to showcase their vision of opticianry while contributing to a symbol of shared purpose that will be seen by thousands of opticians across the country at events and industry gatherings.
The current Design Challenge has concluded. Be sure to check back later this year when submissions reopen.
