PSYC Gear Design Contest


Have an idea for some great PSYC Gear?  Submit your design for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate to the online store.  The submission deadline is February 28, 2013, so fire up the right side of that brain and get ready to see your creation featured on your fellow PSYC Terps!

Designs will be featured on the back of clothing items like the ones currently on the store.  The best way to create and submit your design is with PhotoShop (which is available for free to UMD students).  Click to download the PhotoShop template.  If you need technical assistance scanning a drawing or moving another image format into the PhotoShop template please consult the OIT Helpdesk.

The deadline for submissions is February 28, 2014.  Voting will take place in March.
