T Shirt Design Contest

We are going to move forward with a new t-shirt design for this season.  We will be bringing back "Minding Your Peas and Cukes" and will consider bringing back "They're Real" if enough people tell us they *will* purchase them.  Don't just tell us you *might* - that doesn't help.

======================================================



T-shirt design rules:
1. Select one of the themes in the list given below the 'rules.'  You may interpret the theme as you see fit.
2. You may make as many entries as you wish on as many themes as you wish.
2. Every design needs to include our logo.  Scroll down for a usable jpg file copy
3. Designs for the front (or back) only of the t-shirt. 
4. All designs are 1 or 2 color.  Half tones are the equivalent of one color.
5. You may suggest a color for the t-shirt from SOS in Texas color scheme to best match or supplement your design
6. You may use whatever software you would like to create your design, but we ask that you provide us with a high quality JPG file for our reference.  If you are wondering if another file type can be used - contact SOS in Texas and ask them what they can use to do the screening.
7. To submit an entry - email it to us at the farm.  The subject line should be t-shirt design.  Include your name, contact information and any instructions for the design in the body of the email.  The design should be an attachment.  If your file type is acceptable to SOS, but not JPG - make a JPG copy and send that to us as well.
8. We will give appropriate credit for the designer of any and every shirt design we use.  We are not limiting ourselves to accepting only one design, we may accept several, but may not print them all immediately.
9.  Accepted designs will be given a printed copy of the shirt, some other reward to be determined and our eternal gratitude. 
10. We will be buying organic cotton shirts from SOS in Texas - feel free to see what they are about.


Who may submit design options:
  At present, we are targeting Wartburg College students for this project.  However, if you would like to try, I'm not sure we want to stop you!
