Today’s Agenda: Company Bowling & T-Shirt Design Contest Voting

View All Submissions & Stay Tuned for the Winners!

Today is an exciting day in the office! Our off-site quarterly meeting is being held this afternoon at the bowling alley, and soon the voting will conclude for our first Company T-Shirt Design Contest.

The rules are simple & the prizes mighty:

Contest Rules

  • Every employee is eligible to enter – no maximum on the number of designs per person
  • Design to be printed on only 1 side of the shirt (front or back)
  • Design must be printed on one of the following colored shirts: Green, White, Grey or Black
  • All design submissions must be provided in a digital image format (jpeg, gif, tiff, photoshop, illustrator, pdf, etc.)

Prizes

  • 1st Prize: $250 Prepaid Visa Gift Card
  • 2nd Prize: A pack of Hanes Beefy T’s and two (2) Ken’s breakfast tacos

There were plenty of laughs and amazement yesterday morning as the t-shirt design entries were unveiled for voting. Many inside jokes and some shirts that left some folks scratching their heads.

The office had until close of business (COB as we often abbreviate it) to cast their vote.

Surprisingly, there was a 4-way tie for first place at the end of voting. A run-off vote is currently in progress so the suspense is high. Stay tuned for the winners to be announced and for a recap of the company meeting.

In the meantime, what's your favorite shirt?
