Jersey Design Contest

Oct 18, 2011 by Sue Morris

The Northern Michigan Bike4BreastCancer ride will celebrate its 10th Anniversary on Saturday, June 16, 2012.  To help us commemorate this milestone, we are redesigning our jersey and putting it to the students in our area (Charlevoix & Emmet County) to come up with something special.
The contest is open to anyone age 14 to 21, and can be a high school or college student.  They must be attending school in Charlevoix or Emmet County (this includes home schooling), or in the case of a college student be from this area, and a graphic arts background is recommended.  Submissions will be taken through November 15, 2011, at which time a winner will be announced.  In the event that we don’t receive enough submissions, we will open the contest to the general public.  The design needs to be submitted in a vector format to be able to be reproduced on the jersey.
