Design the 2025-2026 Honors College T-Shirt!
It has been our tradition in the Honors College to have the students design a t-shirt for us each year...and we want you to be a part! 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" OR a HIGH-RES PDF.
The deadline for submissions is Thursday, September 11th, by 11:59pm to honorscollege@umbc.edu. Voting will begin Friday, September 12th and run through Sunday, September 14th at 11:59 pm.
