The T-Shirt Contest

What you wear says a lot about you. ONE's new fair-trade certified, 100% organic African cotton, African-made T-shirts need to say, "I'm committed to helping countries in Africa and across the developing world trade their way to a better future." But they need to say it in a way that is creative, inspiring, and conversation-starting.


That's where you come in. ONE needs your help to find "ONE's Next Top T-shirt," something exciting to only become a symbol of our work to end global poverty and disease, but also to be a must-have item this holiday season (and something you might like to see in Campus Challenge prize packs later this year).


Now, this is a little different than past OCC T-shirt contests. We're not looking for something with your school's name or logo; the design has to be universal and about ONE, not just OCC. We're also looking for something of very high quality, so we strongly recommend that you reach out to your school's art department to come up with the best design.



Additional Parameters:

  1. Limit 5 entries per school at 500 points each; submit as many as you want to try to win the top prizes, but you'll only get submission points for the first 5.


  2. Designs are limited to black (on white shirt) or white (on black shirt) with one additional accent color of your choice. No more than 2 ink colors please.


  3. Designs must be unisex and will be printed on either black or white short-sleeve T-shirts for men and for women.


  4. Design must include the ONE logo or an interpretation of the ONE logo that retains the key characteristics of our trademarked ONE logo (black and white with a circle). You can find downloadable logos and templates here.


  5. Designs are due by November 3, 2009 at 5:00pm EST. No exceptions.

More details and design submission form available here.
