BRADENTON, Fla., May 4, 2009 On Thursday, May 7th, Guy Harvey will visit the Osceola County School for the Arts. The visit is part of the Grand Prize for the 2nd Annual Design-a-Tee Contest, won by student Shayleen N. Guy Harvey will meet the winner and her class from 11am-Noon on Thursday.

"This year's Design-a-Tee partnership with Guy Harvey was very exciting for Bealls and for the students. He has a great story to share and his artwork is an inspiration to all," said Karen Filips, Bealls Director of Sales Promotions.

The grand prize included a $1,000 cash reward to the winning designer, $1,000 cash reward to the winner's school and a special appearance at the winners school by world-renowned artist and conservation activist, Guy Harvey. The winning tee design is currently being sold in Bealls Department Stores throughout the state of Florida and on BeallsFlorida.com. In addition to the grand prize, nine finalists received a $200 Bealls gift card.

Bealls' partnership with Guy Harvey extends over 15 years. Bealls is the largest retail store for Guy Harvey tees, featuring Bealls exclusive designs. In Addition to selling Guy Harvey T-shirts & hats for men, Bealls also carries kids T-shirts and offers two unique Guy Harvey gift cards.

Guy Harvey is a unique blend of artist, scientist, diver, angler, conservationist and explorer, fiercely devoted to his family and his love of the sea. Growing up in Jamaica, Guy spent many hours fishing and diving with his father along the Island's south coast. He was obsessed with marine life and began drawing pictures of the many different fish he observed.

In early 2008 Guy started the Guy Harvey Ocean Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to funding leading scientists as they develop new strategies for sensible fisheries management and educators, who will create novel instructional programs to stimulate future scientists and new stewards of the marine environment.
