CALLING ALL ARTISTS: GREEN UH HOLDING T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST
Green UH
wants your artwork. For the first
time ever, the program is holding a
contest for the design of their next
T-shirt to be sold in all UH
Bookstores. All students are
encouraged to show their skills and
enter to win at the Cougar Card
office at the Welcome Center Garage.
�We started the contest to continue
getting the Green UH brand
recognized around campus and
showcase our campus sustainability
programs,� said Maria Honey, UH
University Services Marketing
Manager.
Honey said the previous design was
very simple, and this contest gives
students the opportunity to use
their talent to promote the Green UH
mission. After the Earth Day
carnival last spring, many students
showed an interest in purchasing the
Green UH T-shirts given as prizes.
Not only will the winner receive the
honor of their design on the new
2011 Green UH T-shirt, but the
artist will also get a UH Cougar
Pack filled with eco-friendly UH
gear and school supplies. Deadline
for submission is December 15, 2010
by 5 p.m. Participants will complete
an entry form at the Cougar Card
office at the time of submission.
All artwork must include the Green
UH brand logo found at
www.uh.edu/green
in pdf, eps or jpeg files. The
design dimensions must be between 7
to 12 inches wide and 3 to 8 inches
high. Artwork can be submitted as an
illustration in black felt-tip pen,
a high resolution Adobe Photoshop
graphic (300 dpi, .EPS file) or as a
Vector Adobe Illustrator graphic
(.AI file). CDs and USB drives will
be accepted for submissions. All art
should be done in black.
The winner�s design will be printed
on an Alta Gracia green T-shirt in
white print. Alta Gracia has
committed to producing sweat-free
apparel, providing workers with a
sustainable standard of living and
the opportunity to raise their
families out of poverty.
A group of faculty, staff and
students selected by members of
Green UH will judge the entries. The
winner will be announced at the
RecycleMania kick-off pep rally on
Jan. 19, 2011. T-shirts will then
become available at the UH Bookstore
for purchase by Earth Week 2011 in
mid April.
