<Title>Design a t-shirt for the AMST department!</Title>
<Tagline>Winning Prize: $100 Gift Card for the UMBC Bookstore!</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><strong>Guidelines</strong>: Your design can use color, but should also be able to be printed in one color without substantial loss of impact. The designs should function in the traditional print landscape (PMS and process color as well as black and reversed versions) and should work equally well in the digital realm (RGB). Designs may incorporate our web address(umbc.edu/amst), or be such that the address could be easily and simply added. Designs need not spell out all words of the department’s name, although they may. The preferred abbreviation is “AMST”.<br><br><strong>How to Enter the Contest:</strong> Your entry of a t-shirt design as a PDF file, with your last name in the PDF file name. (The winner will submit more traditional graphic file formats at a later date). <br><br><strong>Entries Due:</strong> March 6, 2013 by 11:59pm. You may submit multiple entries if you wish. The contest is open to any current UMBC student. Final decisions on the design will be made by a group of AMST faculty, staff, and students.<br><br><strong>Information</strong>: AMST Department Chair T. S. Gonzalves, <a href="mailto:theo@umbc.edu">theo@umbc.edu</a><br><br></div>
