T-SHIRT DESIGN CONTEST!

Tired of conference t-shirt designs you have no say in?  Think you
could do better?  Help us design the ER&L 2009 conference t-shirt!

This year, YOU have a chance to submit a design for potential ER&L
attendees to vote on.

All entries must:
1. Be submitted by 5 pm EST on Friday, Oct. 31, 2008.
2. Be one- or two-color designs.
3. Include “ER&L 2009″ somewhere in the design.
4. Be in .ai, .svg, or .jpg format.

Please note:
Fine details don’t always translate well into screen printing.
Simpler designs are usually better.

T-shirts are being sponsored by EBSCO and will include the EBSCO logo
in addition to the winner’s design.

Voting will take place online the week of Nov. 3-7, 2008.
The winner will be decided by a vote on the ER&L blog.

For the first time ER&L will be offering scholarships(!) to attend the ‘09 conference. I am recruiting 3 people to join us as we decide on the types of scholarships and the requirements and stipulations. Members of the Scholarship group will also review submissions and make decisions on who should receive the awards.

Interested in working with ER&L behind the scenes on this or another area? Email your interest and any specific skills/experiences to: bonnie.tijerina[at]gmail.com
