** Drupal Association staff and members of the DrupalCon Chicago Steering Committee will not be permitted to enter this contest.
Your design must include the DrupalCon Chicago Logo and will only be featured on the front of the t-shirt. Sponsor logos will be added to the t-shirts sleeves after the design is finalized.
What the judges are looking for
The top three designs as chosen by the Drupal Association will then be voted upon by the public, with voting open 5 January until 12 January 2026 at 23:59 UTC.*
Simply create your design, then fill out our submission form by 21 December 2025 to submit your final design. We also ask that you include a sentence or two describing why you chose your design and how it represents the Drupal community.
Now, for the finer details…
The Drupal Association will then select 4 designs to go forward to a public vote.
Specs:
- PNG or PDF preferred
- 16 inches tall
- graphics need to be 300 dpi
All designs must be submitted by 21 December 2025 at 23:59 UTC, after which the submission form will close.
While exploring bold ideas, consider how your design will resonate with a diverse audience. Think of classic elements that make a T-shirt memorable while pushing creative boundaries. Avoid overcomplicating things; sometimes less is more, especially if every element adds value to the message.
Good luck!
Judges are looking for a combination of creativity, impact, and relevance to the Drupal community. A design that tells a story and aligns with the values and aspirations of DrupalCon attendees is likely to capture attention.
