Back for 2023, Student Volunteers can design the T-Shirt they will receive from the conference! In order to participate in the contest,
you need to be eligible to be a Student Volunteer at VIS this year and submit a T-Shirt design before the
August 23 deadline.
If your design gets chosen, you are guaranteed with a Student Volunteer position and all of the benefits
of this year's Student Volunteer program.
Qualification
To be able to qualify to the Student Volunteer T-Shirt contest, students must be eligible for being a Student Volunteer,
and agree to the duties that come with it. Please see
the home page for the general information.
Process
The process for the contest are as follows:
Participants may submit more than 1 design in their entry. Each design should be single-author (although you are welcome to solicit feedback from peers before submission).
Send your design to
visweeksvchairs@gmail.com before midnight AoE on August 23, with the subject: VIS23 SV Shirt Contest - FIRSTNAME LASTNAME.
The SV chairs and the conference committee will select a subset of the designs.
Then the community will vote for their favorite of those pre-selected designs through an online voting system.
We may ask the contest winner to make some small changes to the original design.
Guidelines and Instructions
You are quite free in designing the T-Shirt. However, here is a list of constraints or suggestions that you should take into
consideration:
The T-Shirt is two-sided. The design must show both the front and the back of the T-Shirt if you plan to submit a two-sided
T-Shirt. However, it is not mandatory and you can submit a one-sided design.
Four mandatory elements must be in the design: the VIS logo
(jpg, svg), a mention of the year "2023," a mention of the location "Melbourne," and a mention of "Student
Volunteer" "SV" or similar.
The T-Shirt color should be noticeable, i.e. no black or white. You are free to pick any color for the T-Shirt.
Colors for images are limited: you can use up to four different colors for the front, and up to four colors for the back.
They do not have to be the same.
For the official colors of this year's conference, refer to the IEEE VIS webpage.
The design cannot extend to the seams (side or top) or use the sleeves. Our printer provides a standard rectangular area
that stops several inches from the seams.
