The Friends of Doo Dah in Columbus, Ohio is seeking submissions from
Artists, Illustrators & Graphic Designers for "The 26th Annual Doo Dah
Parade" Slogo Contest!

Designs for this year's parade T-Shirts and Posters must adhere to the
following requirements:

1.            Entries must be delivered or E-Mailed to the above
addresses by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, March 27th. If E-Mailing, design must
fit onto 8 ½" x 11" paper.

2.            Include your contact information.

3.            You may submit up to two Slogo designs.

4.            Design should be set for no more than two (2) colors.

5.            Black and white line art is essential, and a 1/8" trap is
necessary for colors that butt. We do a two color silk-screen. If your
design incorporates shading, it must be done in a way that will lend
itself to be easily silk-screened. The T-shirts themselves will be
different colors, and the ink color(s) will be at the discretion of The
Friends of Doo Dah.  We will take your suggestions.

6.            In any order, include the following text:

Note: Posters will have a full page 2" wide vertical column listing
financial contributors.

Note:  Contributors and some of the poster information will be listed on the Back of the T-Shirt.

Suggestion:  Think outside the box!

The design should incorporate the Slogo with a theme. Examples can be
seen on our web-site:  www.DooDahParade.com.  We would like to see a theme that
reflects the zaniness of the Doo Dah Parade.  The Doo Dah Parade is a funny
parade.  If you can incorporate a theme into your slogo design that
reflects the spirit behind Friends of Doo Dah, it should help you win
over the voters who choose the winning entry.

Another good tip is to make the design with a vertical orientation so
that it looks good on a T-Shirt. The slogo will appear in other places
but the most important place is on the T-Shirt and Poster.

Having your Slogo chosen is a great DisHonor which will make you part of
the history of The Doo Dah Parade.  Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds
of parade gaulkers and Doo Dah Lovers will be wearing the T-Shirt at the
Parade and will wear them around for years to come. The winner gets
mentioned on the Web-Site, T-Shirts, and Posters, and we give the winner
valuable goodies, including a stack of T's and posters!
