Two categories of file readiness:
Production-ready: AI, EPS or editable/layered PDF — preferred (all fonts outlined).
Original artwork: a clean, high-resolution scan or photograph of original hand-drawn/painted artwork, provided the design is relatively simple and can reasonably be converted for screen printing.
How to submit your design: Digital artwork is preferred (AI, EPS or editable PDF), but you don't need to be a professional designer to enter. Original hand-drawn artwork is welcome! Submit a clear, high-resolution scan or photo of your artwork. Keep in mind that the winning design must be suitable for T-shirt printing. YWCA Minneapolis may make minor production adjustments, but designs that require substantial redesign may not be eligible for final selection.
