Here's your chance to showcase your creative talent. Bowl us over with your T-shirt design and win great prizes (not to mention bragging rights)!
Designs must be original and must capture the essence of Stellenbosch University's Diversity Week 2014.
All Maties (students and staff) can enter. The three designs with the most Facebook votes will be declared the winners. Their creators will each get:
· A R1 000 Neelsie gift voucher
· A set of three T-shirts, each featuring one of the winning designs
So, sharpen those pencils, fire up the design software of choice and submit your entries. The deadline is midnight on Thursday, 11 September 2014. We can't wait to see what you come up with!
Use the hashtag #MatiesDiversiT on Facebook and Twitter to follow this competition (different from the regular Diversity Week hashtag, #matiesdiversity).
THEME:
The theme of Diversity Week 2014 is "GLOCAL IS LEKKER". There's also a strong African focus this year, and the celebration of 20 years of democracy in South Africa provides further context. (See http://bit.ly/1p7TG26 for more background.)
What do you make of all of this? Your T-shirt design should help us celebrate diversity at Maties and promote inclusivity. Feel free to pursue your own thoughts. Be creative and have fun!
