Parking Decal Design Contest!
The ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ Office of the Bursar is excited to announce the opening of a new contest for the design of next year's sustainable hanging parking decals. We are inviting ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ students, staff, and faculty to showcase their creativity and submit a design that incorporates the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ themes. This is a unique opportunity for the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ community to leave a lasting impact on campus, as the winning design will be displayed on parking decals used throughout the university by students, staff, and visitors.
In addition to showcasing your artistic talents, this contest gives you the opportunity to contribute to an important functional element on campus. Parking decals are highly visible, and this is your chance to enhance the visual identity of ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ through a practical design that will be used daily.
Once the finalists are selected, a poll will open to give ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ stakeholders the opportunity to cast their vote and help determine the winning design.
Don't miss this opportunity to make your mark on the ÃÛÌÒÓ°Ïñ campus and be part of a creative initiative that emphasizes innovation and community involvement. We look forward to seeing your innovative designs!
