Pin & T-Shirt DIsign Contest
In preparation for the 2011-12 season, Students for a Creative Iowa invites anyone affiliated with Students for a Creative Iowa to submit pin and T-shirt design entries to the state Board. By “affiliated,” we mean student participants, Appraisers, alumni volunteers, Team Managers, parents and other volunteers. Please note that the Board may give preferential consideration to designs submitted by student participants and alumni volunteers. Because the manufacturers with whom we work require a lengthy lead time, this contest is beginning early. You will have plenty of time to submit your designs, however, because the contest begins March 5, 2011 and closes July 1, 2011. Start playing with your designs NOW! Fresh themes are always welcome. Tips: A design with simple lines rather than complex ones is easier for the manufacturer to reproduce. Keep in mind that bright, clear colors with good contrast capture everyone’s attention.
Design entries must be received by Friday, July 1, 2011. Late entries will not be accepted. Students will be asked to vote at this Web site for their favorite DIsigns, and ballot results will be considered when Students for a Creative Iowa selects the winner. Watch for a poll on this Web site! Please note that cost, ease of reproduction and other factors may be included as part of the Board decision.
A big thank you goes to the last contest winners, Temesha Derby of Grinnell Middle School, who developed the 2010 gumball pin design, and Luke Whitney of Anthon-Oto Middle School for the light bulb design for the 2010 T-shirts. The T-shirts with this design were worn proudly by all Iowa teams at Global Finals during Opening Ceremonies, and the pins were traded with teams from around the world.
