T-Shirt Contest Open!

APC is proud to announce a T-shirt design contest! Something you can wear to show you are a plant geek! Wear it to your local club meetings, your local fish store, the grocery store to show your love of aquatic plants, and best of all the AGA convention in Atlanta to help identify yourself!

Rules:

1. You must be a member of APC
2. You can only submit 1 design
3. The design must be your own original unpublished work and must not contain any third-party logos, trademarks or copyright material.
5. If a photograph is used you must own the rights to the photo.
4. The entrants retain all copyright to their submissions, but grant APC an exclusive right to display the submissions on the website and to print t-shirts and other merchandise using the design(s).

• Be creative! Design a Tee folks would be proud to wear!
• We recommend that you include a small design for the front of the shirt and a larger design on the back of the shirt. The formats below are only a recommendation. Other original concepts will be allowed.

o attractiveness of the design
o the extent to which the design best illustrates what APC is about
o all entries must be appropriate and of high quality; APC staff holds the right to eliminate entries of poor quality or offensive nature.

• These designs will be posted on APC and the forum members will vote on their favorite design. You determine the winner!

Your Reward:
