Honors College T-Shirt Design Contest!

Hey Honors Folks,

It has been our tradition in the Honors College to have the students design a t-shirt for us each year, and we are happy to announce that the design contest for the 2026-2027 T-shirt is now open!! Not a particularly artsy person? No worries! Our past winners have come from all majors.

Here are the guidelines:

1. Designs must be in one color and appear on only one side of a shirt.

2. Designs should include graphics and (appropriate) words only, with no background. They should not include copyrighted material.

3. Designs must include the words "UMBC Honors College."

4. Please submit in either a "print ready file in AI" (though I am not sure what that is!) OR a HIGH-RES PDF.

The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, September 16th, by 11:59pm to honorscollege@umbc.edu. Voting will begin Friday, September 18th and run through Thursday, September 24th, at 11:59 pm. 

If you need inspiration to get those creative juices flowing, come by the Honors College (AOK Library) to see all the previous design winners!
