And the Winner Is…

It started with an idea.

Here at Platte Valley Literacy, we knew we wanted to create t-shirts to share our mission with the world, but we couldn't figure out what to include. We wracked our brain, then decided that the best people to help with this endeavor were members of the community. How do they view us? What do they imagine when they think of Platte Valley Literacy?

We decided to have a contest.

Back in June, we put out a call to members of the community to design a T-shirt for the PVLA. Two answered the call, and their designs were amazing.

 In July, we then asked for votes to determine which design people liked the most, and the community voted.

 
We think the design perfectly captures what Platte Valley Literacy is about, and by purchasing and wearing these shirts proudly, you let everyone know that you support adult education and want to empower individuals to reach their educational goals.

Prizes for Participants

Both of the design participants win prizes, with first place getting $100 and their design on a shirt, while second place gets $50.

Everyone else gets a prize too, as they have the opportunity to purchase the winning t-shirt.

If you’d like to add this amazing shirt to your collection, you can order it from Custom Ink. This is part of a fundraiser, so the PVLA receives a portion of the sales.

This contest was a lot of fun. It was amazing to see the designs. We’re pretty sure people enjoyed being able to vote for their favorite. Hopefully, they’ll also enjoy wearing this shirt.

The PVLA has been wanting to make T-shirts for a while, but we can’t decide what they should look like.

That’s why we’re asking for your help.

We want you to help us design PVLA T-shirts that we can sell to help raise money for students.

Who Can Enter

Anyone! From 5 to 95, if you have a T-shirt design idea, we want to see it.
