Hello everyone,
The DePaul Cooking Club has been working to create unique merch for our club, but we need your help!!
The club will have a basic merch line that will always be available, but each quarter we would like to host a contest to create a new design for that quarter. Of course there are some rules but we want to encourage you all to be as creative as possible. The type of designs we are looking for are creative and have a heavy focus on cooking and a relevance to the club. These designs will be going on the back of hoodies and t-shirts so it should be large format. More restrictions and guidelines can be found below.
The way that this process is set to work is that all members will have two weeks to upload their submission to the link below. The upload period will end on May 6th, 2024 at noon and on that same day all submissions will be posted to Insagram for live voting. There can be only one winner but we want to give everyone a fair chance at getting their design on the club merch. We hope to launch the merch before finals week in May, but there will be more information on specifics in the future.
