MCAHV T-Shirt Design Contest - $1000 Prize!
Deadline extended to May 16, 2008.
Contest Objective
Tragically, we
have seen repeated gun violence in schools across America over the past years, from
student suicides to murders on campus. The freedom to attend school no matter
who you are is a bedrock of democracy, and the safety of students is being challenged
by the availability of guns to people who lack the responsibility to use them.
College and
university students can get involved in change. Involvement can come through
joining and supporting the student branch of Maine Citizens Against Handgun
Violence; through participating in events that raise public awareness of the
issue; through participating in legislation at the state and national level;
and through the unique medium of designing an attractive t-shirt that will be displayed
by hundreds and that will carry its message into any number of venues for many
years into the future.
Contestants should read the rules carefully.
Contest Rules
1. The
design will be judged on the basis of how effectively it communicates the
connection between gun violence on school campuses and inadequately regulated sale of guns. Aesthetic design (including color),
humor, legibility and immediacy of impact will be considered among other
factors.
2. The
decision of MCAHV may be arbitrary but will be final.
3. MCAHV
will be granted the exclusive world-wide right to reproduce and market the
design, in any form and format, for a period of ten (10) years from award of
the prize to the entrant.
4. Students
currently enrolled in an accredited two or four year college or university in Maine are eligible to
participate.
5. Entrants
will be deemed to warrant that the submitted design is their original work
product and does not infringe the rights of any third party.
6. Designs should be submitted on-line in PDF or EPS format to info@mcahv.org prior to May 16, 2008.
