This year, the LITS Wellness Committee is hosting a t-shirt design competition for the t-shirts that the LITS team will wear at the Winship 5K (being held on October 5, 2019). This annual race supports the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University. In 2018, the event raised more than $783,000 with over 3,200 participants. On the day of the event, runners and walkers tackle the Peachtree Road Race qualifying course that starts and ends on the Emory campus and winds it way through the surrounding Druid Hills area.

Who can submit?

Any LITS employee can submit, even if they do not plan to participate in the race.

What are the rules for submission?

• The Emory LITS logo will be on the front of the t-shirt in either Emory blue, black, or white. The winning design will be printed on the back of the t-shirt.
• The color of the design must match the color of the logo, so the color of the design must be in Emory blue, black, or white. One color only.
• Note: We have fourteen colors to choose from for the t-shirt itself, so the color of your design is not dependent on the color of the t-shirt. If you are the winner, we will work with you to choose a t-shirt in a complementary color to your design.
• The name of the LITS Winship 5K team must be represented in some way, though it can be represented in images as opposed to text. Make sure the representation is clear in your design, however you decide to showcase it. The name is: LITS Byte Cancer!

How do I submit? 

1. Drop your submission into this Google Drive folder.
2. Title your submission with a number starting with 1 and then proceeding with whichever number is next in sequence when you visit the folder to upload.
3. Email Meaghan O’Riordan directly (meaghan [dot] oriordan [at] emory [dot] edu) once you have submitted to let her know which number is yours. This will keep submissions anonymous while also making it possible to contact the winner.

How will a winner be chosen? 

A group (membership TBD) will be assembled to vote on the submissions. This group will have representatives from across LITS. Meaghan will not be voting, thus keeping your submissions anonymous. There will be a prize, which is a $150 Visa gift card.* Additionally, if the winner decides not to participate in the Winship 5K, they will still be given a t-shirt to show off their winning design! (Participants on the LITS team for the Winship 5K will all receive a free t-shirt, courtesy of the LITS Wellness Committee.)
