The Asian/Pacific American Librarians Association (APALA) is hosting a T-shirt Design Contest! Are you interested in design? Do you have a vision for a design that you would love to see on your next t-shirt, while also supporting your local Asian/Pacific American librarians?
The APALA Finance & Fundraising Committee will select up to 5 designs to be voted on in January 2021 by the APALA membership. The selected designer will receive a $200 honorarium for their work and have their design printed on a t-shirt that will be available for sale through Bonfire. Finalists (any designer selected for the membership vote) will receive a free year of membership in APALA.
Contest Period: This contest is open from November 13, 2020 to December 16, 2020. All entries must be received by 11:59PM PST on December 16, 2020. The winning design will be announced at the APALA Membership Meeting on January 19, 2021.
Contest Rules and Requirements:
- You need to be either an APALA member or identify as Asian/Pacific American.
- The design must be your original work.
- Only one entry is allowed per designer.
- We encourage designs that speak to the following themes: activism, advocacy, community, and/or solidarity.
- Please submit your design in a .jpg or .png file. Should your design be selected for printing, Bonfire prefers an .AI file, transparent art at 1500px by 1500px, with file size of 10 Mb.
- Must have “APALA” featured somewhere in the design.
- APALA will work with the designer should the design be used beyond the T-shirt Design Contest.
