VIA COLORI

2012 Houston Via ColoriĀ® T-shirt Design Challenge

The Via Colori 2012 T-shirt design challenge is open to all amateur and professional graphic designers.

Since the 2006 Via Colori® Festival’s inception, The Center for Hearing and Speech has been fortunate to have many Via Colori artists volunteer their time and talent to create a wonderful t-shirt design worn by all of our Artists and Volunteers. We are once again looking for another creative mind to bring the 2012 Via Colori T-shirt to life!  Would you like to take a chance and help the Center?  Your artwork could be splashed across the backs and fronts of over 200 artists, 400 volunteers and dozens of festival goers who make a t-shirt purchase!

Deadline:

Wednesday, February 8 – 29, 2012

Submission:

Up to three (3) separate designs can be emailed to Lisa Benitez, Event Manger in JPEG or PDF format at lbenitez@centerhearingandspeech.org.  Designs may also be submitted via mail or dropped off at The Center for Hearing and Speech (hours of operation: Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. – 3 p.m.).
