Swag Design Contest
We invite you to get creative and send us designs that we can print on t-shirts, totes, stickers, and more. Your designs should inspire others to love our urban forest, hug a tree, or plant trees and native plants as a climate change solution, or get involved as a volunteer or donor. Read about contest guidelines and how to submit below.
Guidelines & Important Info
**Disclaimer:** By entering the Swag Design Contest, you agree to license the design to Friends of the Urban Forest for free and with no restrictions. Friends of the Urban Forest may enlist a graphic designer to polish it without prior notice or approval.
Judging
Designs will be judged on the following criteria:
​
-
Originality
-
Visibility – is it eye-catching and visible from a distance?
-
Relevance – does the design align (or at least not clash) with our mission to bring neighbors together to plant and care for San Francisco’s ideal urban forest?
-
Feasibility – design must be easy to reproduce.
-
Usability - bonus points if you suggest an item that people will use often and proudly (i.e other than a t-shirt, cap, water bottle).
