SUMMARY:WAA 2nd Annual Youth T-Shirt Design Contest
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to announce the second year of our Youth T-shirt contest!  We hope all our members will encourage a child between the ages of 8 and 14 years old to submit a drawing.   \n\n\n\nOur 2024 theme will be “Trees of the Future”.  \n\n\n\nHere are the rules: \n\n\n\n\n A child (or children) must simply be sponsored by a WAA member (there is no cost\, but you must be a current member).  The WAA member is responsible for submitting a scan of the drawing (Please keep the original!) to the Editorial Chair at briana@treehealthmgmt.com.\n\n\n\nAn E-Blast will be sent during the third week of July when the contest will be live and announced on our website.\n\n\n\nThe drawing must be in black and white and must be submitted by August 8th\, 2024 by 5:00pm.\n\n\n\nOnly one drawing per child will be accepted.\n\n\n\nA panel of judges will meet on August 14th to select three finalists. The winning design will be voted on by current WAA members. All children’s names will be kept anonymous until a winner has been selected.\n\n\n\nThe winner will need to submit the original drawing via US Post or submit a high-quality digital scan (instructions will be provided).  The drawing will be the new apparel design for WAA clothing in 2025.  Apparel will be available for purchase to membership\, and our winner will receive a choice of a free WAA T-shirt or sweatshirt.\n\n\n\nAll participants will have their drawing showcased in a digital format on the WAA website.\n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Tina at admin@waa-isa.org.\n\n\n\n\nTips and Tricks: \n\n\n\n\nA simple line drawing (vs any type of shading) makes for the best screen print on apparel.\n\n\n\nThicker\, solid lines also work best for printing.\n\n\n\nOur printer will work with the winning artist to refine areas for printing.\n\n\n\nPlease do include the theme “Trees of the Future 2024” in the drawing.\n\n\n\nPlease do not sign the drawing.
