Support the NIRSA Foundation and gain recognition for your program and institution by participating in the 2012 edition of the annual t-shirt competition & apparel sale. This popular fundraiser is a philanthropic endeavor that provides friendly competition between NIRSA institutions and serves as a forum for exchanging creative promotional ideas. Join this year's fun by entering donated items to this time honored conference event.*
Entries will be judged on originality, content composition, layout of design and overall visual appeal. A Best of Show will be awarded among the first place winners from each of the t-shirt categories. Click here to see the winners from the 2011 t-shirt competition.
Complete an entry form to bring with your t-shirts (forms will also be available on-site).
*Please bring two of each t-shirt design entry in the t-shirt competition. If your shirt is among the selected winners, one t-shirt will be included in the next year's quilt; the second shirt will be sold at this year's conference in the NIRSA Foundation apparel sale.
Although not formally judged as part of the competition, donated recreation department jackets, sweatshirts, hats, etc. are all great items to show your school spirit and help raise additional monies for the NIRSA Foundation.
