EA Design Contest

Okay, so my effort to create a design for our first Everyone’s Apostolic shirt has been a complete failure. I won’t make that mistake again. The shirt has been taken out of the store and we are back to square one. What to do? Though I may not be a fashion designer…hahaha, I do have a decent thinker, so here’s my proposal if you are up to it. You design the shirt. No…not just the other members that are getting this email, you. You design the shirt, if you’re up for the challenge, and we will have everyone on the site vote for the one that goes into production. Fun don’t you think?

Okay, so here’s how we proceed:

1. You can go to CustomInk.com and design the shirt there. Once you have a design you are comfortable with, just click the save/email link on the site and send me your design. My email address is support@everyonesapostolic.org. We will use your email to post the images to the polling survey. Once you have sent me the design, please visit here and post your design images for public record. You must post the images to the design contest discussion provided at the link above to be considered for the contest.

2. We need to know the sales price. Some folks commented that the shirt was a little pricey. Okay…so you are in charge of this too. Now EA will have to mark the shirts up a little, so plan on adding $5 to the cost of the shirt. The more colors, the more they are going to charge for the shirts, so play around with your options. Also, since we don’t know how many members actually want a shirt, estimate 10 shirts for each size when calculating the price.

3. Logo…EA doesn’t have a logo just yet, so if you have some ideas, this would be a great opportunity to explore them.

4. Just have fun. I have seen a great many of the member pages and I can testify that we have some very talented and creative folks, so I look forward to seeing your design projects.

Okay, so what if you win the design contest? If you win the design contest, EA will contribute $1 for each shirt sold toward your church technology fund.

What is a technology fund? Whatever the Pastor wants it to be. Funds dedicated so church members could have access to online educational courses is one idea.

Your ball, your court…game on :)
