• 2027 EAST NovelTee Application: Round 1

    Please note: Due to the wide-open nature of this competition, it is limited to 10 submissions per EAST program. In the event that more than 10 submissions are received, EAST will only consider the first 10 submissions.
  • Calling all creative EAST students! This is your chance to make your mark on EAST Conference 2027 by designing an original graphic T-shirt that celebrates the spirit of EAST—innovation, collaboration, problem-solving, and positive community impact.

    This year the EAST NovelTee Competition will take place in two rounds. Participants will develop a design inspired by one of the provided prompts or an original EAST-themed slogan. Selected finalists will then work directly with an EAST designer to refine their concepts for the final round.

    One winning design will be professionally produced and sold in the EAST Gear Store at EAST Conference 2027. The winning designer will also receive recognition at #EASTcon27!

    Let your creativity shine and show us what EAST means to you.
