2025 Senior T-Shirt Design Contest Submission Form

Front of T-shirt with ChBE logo. Back is a student design submission.

We are inviting ChBE seniors to submit designs for T-shirt art for the first-year and senior classes. We hope to facilitate a greater sense of community and camaraderie through this gesture from those of you completing your time here at the department to those who are just finishing their first year.

These designs will be voted upon by your fellow students between Feb. 24 and Feb. 28, 2025. The winning designer will receive a $150 Amazon gift certificate courtesy of the department and will receive a credit in the ChBE Spring 2025 commencement program.
Guidelines:

  • Designs are due by Feb. 12, 2025, 5 p.m. MT.
  • You must be a senior in the CU Boulder's Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering to participate in this contest.
  • Unlike past years, you will design the back of the T-shirt only. See winning 2024 design at the top of this page for an example.
  • The design should communicate a sense of community and pride in the department and represent the inclusive nature of the department. Submissions will go through an internal review, and you will be notified if your design is selected to move onto voting.
  • The designs must be completely original. Additionally, the requirement for "wholly original work" specifies that AI cannot be employed in any aspect of your design.
  • Do not incorporate any official CU logos, including the CU Boulder athletic’s Ralphie logo.
  • Submissions with offensive, explicit, violent or hateful material will not be considered.
  • The designer will retain all rights to their work, but will grant the department permission to print the design on T-shirts for the first-year students and seniors.
  • The department will not profit or otherwise claim ownership of the design, except to share the design via social media or in news articles relating to the contest.
  • Please include your name or initials somewhere on the design.
