Submit your work here.
Design Guidelines
When you upload, please title your files appropriately starting with the current year and include nice tags, like:
2011-chiditarod-patch-your_
2012-chiditarod-shirt-your_
2013-chiditarod-poster-your_
Please upload high resolution PDFs for your design submissions. If we choose your design we will contact you for your final design files. Acceptable final design files include layered Photoshop PSD and Illustrator AI files. Please make sure you keep any custom fonts you use and provide them with your final design package if you are chosen. Visit dafont.com for free custom fonts and enter your text in the preview to see how it looks. Choose your font based on legibility. Show it to others to make sure they can easily read what it says.
Selection Criteria
Design winners will be evaluated and selected based on the following criteria:
Aesthetic: Is it rad? Is it sweet? Will people WANT to have it? Does it embody the spirit of the CHIditarod? You know… Chicago, winning, explosions, shenanigans, charity, covert ops, carts, mayhem, epic victory, glory, etc.
If you have a question that is not addressed in these guidelines please email us at: design@chiditarod.org.
