Hello Everyone,
It’s T-shirt design time! Every year, we call on students to design the wonderful T-shirts that our SVs wear! If your design is selected, you guarantee yourself an SV spot! This year, the deadline is Thursday, January 16th, 2025 (AoE), and your submissions should be uploaded via Google Form*.
Design Details & Selection Process
You may consider incorporating elements of Yokohama, Japan, into your design, though this is not a requirement. What’s most important is that the design is respectful of local culture, engaging, and distinctive, allowing it to stand out in a crowd. Remember, SV T-shirts often serve as a form of uniform at our events. 🙂
Please send us front and back designs, noting that we cannot print on sleeves or the extreme edges of the shirts. Designs should be ONE color. In general, this means a black or white design on a colored shirt.
The imprint size is roughly 11″ (~28cm) wide and 13″ (~33cm) high, front or back. The design can contain more than one print (e.g., a large print on the back and a smaller print on the front).
You can find the CHI 2025 logo information here: [CHI2025 Design Package]
Submission Details
Mock-ups should be sent as PDF, JPG, or PNG in medium resolution (size limit: 10 Mb). If your design is selected as a winning design, we will require the final version in a .eps or .ai format.
You may submit several designs or variations on a single design, should you so desire. You need to combine them all in ONE file before uploading it.
The deadline is Thursday, January 16th, 2025, at 23:59 AoE to upload your designs to the Google Form*.
We will select a winner in the week following the end of the contest and notify the winner, as well as everyone who submitted designs. The selection process involves both SV-Chairs selection and a popular vote among ACs and OC members.

Thank you, and we’re looking forward to seeing your creativity!
