Tired of conference t-shirt designs you have no say in?  Think 
you could do better?  Help us design the ER&L 2009 conference 
t-shirt!

This year, YOU have a chance to submit a design for potential ER&L
attendees to vote on.  All entries must:

1. Be submitted by 5 pm EST on Friday, Oct. 31, 2008.
2. Be one- or two-color designs.
3. Include "ER&L 2009" somewhere in the design.
4. Be in .ai, .svg, or .jpg format.

Please note:

Fine details don't always translate well into screen printing.
Simpler designs are usually better.
T-shirts are being sponsored by EBSCO and will include the EBSCO logo
in addition to the winner's design.
Voting will take place online the week of Nov. 3-7, 2008.
The winner will be decided by a vote on the ER&L blog.
