VIEW OUR 2024-2025 WINNERS HERE
Once again, PGSF asked students to help us promote our scholarship program by designing a T-Shirt.
PGSF awarded over 200 college-level scholarships to students ranging in value from $2,000 to $10,000 for this year and the winning T-Shirt design, along with the poster designs, helps promote our scholarship program throughout the year.
The winners of the T-Shirt contest received a $500 check, an award certificate, and were honored in a national news release, on the PGSF website, and on social media platforms.
1. The T-shirt Contest had two divisions: one for high school students and one for post-secondary students.
2. We added a design theme to our contests this year to promote Graphic Communications as a program of study and career. Design your T-Shirt using one of these themes:
- Print is Authentic
- Print is Sustainable
- Print is Innovative
Educators: Please encourage students in your school to enter the PGSF T-Shirt Competition. The competition is open to all students enrolled in primary, secondary schools, and post-secondary colleges and universities, trade, or apprenticeship programs.
Print, email, and share this flyer with other instructors and students. The entries from high school and college/post-secondary students will be judged separately. This means more winning designs and awards!
If you have any questions or need assistance, please email contact@pgsf.org or Dianne Bullas – dianne.bullas@pgsf.org or call 503-572-6610.
