Psi Chi International T-Shirt Design Contest

Contest Description

The purpose of the Psi Chi International T-Shirt Design Contest is to allow a Psi Chi chapter, student member, or alumni member the opportunity to design a t-shirt to be sold by the Psi Chi Central Office during the 2010-11 fiscal year (July 1-June 30). A total number of 120 t-shirts are guaranteed to be produced and sold, but the Psi Chi Central Office, at its discretion, can decide to produce and sell more than the original, 120-shirt, quantity. The Psi Chi Central Office will choose the winning design. The winning chapter or winning member’s chapter of record will receive ten free t-shirts in the sizes requested by the contest winner. If an alumni member’s design is chosen as the winner, the alumnus is guaranteed to receive one of the ten t-shirts.
