2. Tamko’s overall patch design competition
Tamko announces an overall patch design competition! Is your design the next big hit that can be seen on overalls from various fields of study?
There are three different series in competition: Tamko/TAMK, Tampere and a topic of your own choice. At the end of the competition, Tamko’s Board will select one winner from each series. The competition is open until the end of May.
RULES
– An overall patch musn’t be offensive and should remain within good taste.
– Competition period is from 11th of May until 31st of May 2020.
– The winner will be chosen by Tamko’s Board.
– By participating in the competition with your design, you’ll transfer all its material rights to Tamko.
– Please send the design materials and questions about the competition to edustajisto.vpj(at)tamko.fi.
– You can participate in all series but please note that one overall patch design can’t take part in all three series. Also, please mark your designs clearly, so that we know which design is meant for what series.
– All winners will be rewarded with a local business’ gift card (of their choosing with a value of 15€) and overall patches.
TIPS FOR DESIGNING
– Leave some space at the edges of your design.
– Use a font which is big (at least 5 – 6 mm) and clear enough (sans serif type).
– Avoid using small details or thin lines.
There’s no limit for imagination in this competition, so release your wildest ideas!
