_*Plant Science Design Contest: */Embrace your inner artist!

Well folks the moment you have all been waiting for has arrived!
The PSGSA are making Plant Science Grad Student t-shirts/hoodies/coffee
mugs etc. and are looking for grad students to submit design ideas.
Those pesky undergrads aren't going to be the only ones with sweet UofM
clothing and gear!
We plan on selecting two design options: one playful/humorous design and
a classic /serious design.
_*CONTEST DETAILS
*_You may submit plant science themed drawings, PSGSA logo ideas, or
even just a playful slogan or phrase. If your design idea is selected
you will receive a t-shirt with your design on it for FREE!
Please submit designs to me by *Friday March 4th*, they can be emailed
(laura_wiebe(a)umanitoba.ca <mailto:laura_wiebe@umanitoba.ca>) or put in
my mailbox in the grad lounge.
Once all the designs have been submitted we will have a vote to pick
which design options students want made.
Let the creative juices flow! What a great way to procrastinate while
still feeling productive ;)
