Hawk Week logo contest now accepting 2005 entries
The 2005 Hawk Week Logo competition will reward one student with $250. The winner will also have his design on all Hawk Week publications, including more than 500 Hawk Week T-shirts, 6,000 Hawk Week booklets and the Hawk Week Web site. This is the second year for the competition, sponsored by New Student Orientation.
"It gives the winner a lot of notoriety," Shanda Hurla, Hawk Week coordinator, said.
Entries and applications are due by 5 p.m. on Dec. 17 in room 213 of Strong Hall. Applications are also available in room 213 Strong Hall or on the hawk Week Web site, www.hawkweek.ku.edu. All students enrolled for both Fall 2004 and Spring 2005 are invited to participate.
No entries have passed Hurla's desk yet, but she said she was not worried.
"I remember this time last year I was nervous, but now I know that most of the entries all show up on the last day," she said.
Students are busy this time of year, Hurla said. Last year the competition received more than 20 entries.
The design will be selected by a contest committee. Art and design faculty, Hawk Week staff and students constitute the committee. They will look for originality, connection to Hawk Week, connection to the University of Kansas audience and that it abides to University trademark guidelines.The logo design must include the words "Hawk Week 2005" and"The University of Kansas." Participants will receive the results by e-mail Friday, Feb.4, 2005.
The idea for the competition came from the timetable cover competition. Now that the timetable is no longer printed, the Hawk Week committee decided to have a competition for its logo. There is a lot of talent on campus, Hurla said, and this great experience for students to have.
Hawk Week is a welcoming week for new KU students. Programs during the week try to connect students with campus programs and activities as well as the Lawrence community.
