Designing For Change - Echoing Green's 2009 T-Shirt Contest!
Are you into looking good while doing good?
So are we. That’s why we’re introducing Echoing Green’s first t-shirt design contest. But it’s not any old design contest... we're crowdsourcing it with our friends over at crowdSPRING.com. Each entry in the contest is made public on their website, and if you sign up for an account, you can help us decide by voting for your favorites.
We have our own panel of fashion-industry expert judges to help award the prize ($250), including Echoing Green supporter Joon Ma, from Louis Vuitton, and 2007 Echoing Green Fellow Adam Bucko of the Reciprocity Foundation.
Here is the scoop:
We need a new t-shirt to promote Echoing Green. The t-shirt will be sold on our website, and the money will go toward supporting our core programmatic model of identifying and supporting promising social entrepreneurs with bold solutions. But we need a great design -- one that celebrates Echoing Green while reflecting the spring and summer seasons ahead. That’s where you come in!
Visit our project page on crowdspring.com to see our creative brief and enter the contest. Remember that the winning design comes with $250 AND the admiration of change-makers around the world. All entries are due March 31st @ 4pm EST!
If you're not a designer, no problem!! You can still participate by commenting on the designs.
Please Email, Twitter, Re-blog, Digg, and Stumble this story (see the logos below). We'd love to have a big pool of entrants.

T-shirt criteria
Any instructions or criteria for the shirt? Should it say anything specific? A certain color?
