The nationwide Relay For Life Advisory Team is now accepting submissions for the 2014 Relay For Life commemorative artwork contest. This artwork is used on the nationwide Relay T-shirts, limited promotional items, and on national awards.
We want as many talented people to participate in the 2014 commemorative artwork contest as possible. Below are a few ideas for staff to get out the word:
Any American Cancer Society staff, vendor, volunteer, supporter, or Relay participant may submit artwork for consideration. Submissions are due by November 12, 2012. All submissions must be emailed to RelayTShirtArt@cancer.org. Please, only a maximum of three concepts per person should be submitted.
Three top designs will be selected by the National Relay Advisory Team and then posted for public vote on RelayForLife.org January 2013.
Below is an overview of the criteria:
· Any American Cancer Society staff, vendor, volunteer, supporter, or Relay participant may submit artwork for consideration.
· Designs submitted must convey the energy, purpose, and passion of the American Cancer Society Relay For Life event.
· The words “Celebrate. Remember. Fight Back. ® ” must be included in every design and should be the central focal point of the shirt. This represents the essence of every Relay For Life event, where we celebrate people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and come together to fight back against a disease that has taken too much.
· The design should include the Relay For Life logo in full, unaltered form. It should be located in the upper third of the design and should measure at least 2 inches in total width. All graphic standards for use of the Relay For Life logo should be followed. The logo and usage guidelines can be found at acsbrand.org.
· The design should include the year 2014.
· Artwork submitted should be for the front of the shirt only, measuring no more than 9 inches wide by 12 inches tall.
· All designs should be presented on white T-shirt templates included in the guideline document, and submitted as Adobe Illustrator EPS files with all fonts outlined . Files should be Zip-archived before emailing. Entries that do not meet these guidelines will not be considered.
· Entries should be emailed to RelayTShirtArt@cancer.org.
· Share contest details with your state and local Relay contacts.
· Promote the contest at graphic design educational programs – colleges, trade schools, arts schools, etc.
· Promote the contest and submission criteria at your Relay U’s, event kick-offs, and Team Captain meetings that occur during the contest period.
· Post messages about the contest with a link back to RelayForLife.org (where information will be posted) on your local event Facebook, Twitter, and other social networking sites.
· Promote the contest to Relay business sponsors who may have internal graphic art departments.
· Post information about the contest on community and business bulletin boards.
· Promote the contest to your T-shirt suppliers ... most have an internal graphic department.
· If you have a great idea for a T-shirt, find a graphic artist in your area and work together to create a submission.
