Students for an Orwellian Society

Because 2004 is 20 years too late.

T-Shirt Design Contest

We're considering printing SOS T-Shirts. Please email Minitrue with your designs. If we like one of them enough to print up a bunch, we'll send the artist a free shirt or two, as well as some other incentives if we come up with any. We're more inclined to print designs that use a small number of colors (one or two).

Rules

In no particular order:

  1. Please send proposed T-Shirt designs to Minitrue. Everyone is eligible, even Party members and judges.
  2. To be considered, designs as receieved must be actual graphic files in some format that the Party can read, not merely textual descriptions of proposed designs.
  3. At some point, the Party will declare that enough entries have been received, and that the contest is over.
  4. After that point, the judge(s) will be invited to judge the entries. If the judges are worthy of the title, they will select at least one design as the winner.
  5. Depending on the status of the Party treasury at that point, t-shirts in the image of the winning design may be offered for sale. The Party reserves the right to modify the design if it sees fit.
  6. If t-shirts are printed and offered for sale, two such shirts, in the sizes of the artist's choice, will be sent by mail to the artist. The Party shall attempt to find the artist's mailing address in its vast records, but may rely on the artist for confirmation of this.
  7. Whether or not t-shirts are offered for sale, the winning artist will get a super-k3wl @studentsfororwell.org e-mail forwarding address.
  8. The entrants retain all copyright to their submissions, but grant SOS a non-exclusive right to display the submissions on the website and to print t-shirts using them.
  9. I am not a lawyer.
  10. If you have any questions, email Minitrue.
  11. Some tips: one or two colors of ink is probably best. We're not necessarily limited to white shirts. Simple designs will win the judges' favor, and are also generally the easiest to print.
