Summer Program

2012 Summer Session Design Competition

Wesleyan Summer Session wants you to design this year's t-shirt. The 2012 t-shirt will be given to all Summer Session 2012 students, plus an extra bunch will be used solely for marketing purposes. So you might just see a total stranger walking down the street in your awesome design. In addition to the gratification of seeing your design on hundreds of t-shirts, you could also win a $25 gift certificate to your choice of Middletown business (restrictions apply). And we'll give you a few t-shirts all your own, so that you can market yourself. Entries will be anonymous to the panel of student and staff judges.

Not interested in entering, but interested in judging? Email us at summer@wesleyan.edu and let us know!
