T-Shirt Design Contest:
The goal of this contest is to create a T-Shirt with a PANGAEA ACT PROJECT THEME design. A secondary goal is to make it not only meaningful but stylish so that visitors to the YEP community and mikehorn.com will want to wear this t-shirt to help create awareness for the project and promote the Pangaea Expedition. The concept could be something as simple as designing a cool looking image.
The top design contenders will have their designs posted and displayed for all to see. There will be a vote on the Pangaea Yep community and the winning design will be printed up on t-shirts and those will be sold by our online store. The sale profits will be dedicated to the PANGAEA ACT PROJECT.
