CALLING ALL ECOSA INSTITUTE ALUMNI!

Ecosa needs your help. We need a design to go on clothing and tote bags. As alumni of a program where you learned how to design with nature, who better to ask to create this image!

REQUIREMENTS: We would like you to create an image(s) that encapsulates the essence of Ecosa, based on your perspective of the program. It can be hand drawn or created digitally, but must be submitted as a PDF. It can go on the front, back, or both sides of a piece of clothing or tote bag. It can be in color or black and white. There are no size restrictions.

As part of our ethos, we are not interested in creating more “things” that might end up in the landfill. Therefore your design(s) will be made into a Direct-to-Film (DTF) transfer. The special, iron-on film allows for intricate details and multiple pieces in your design, like the gaps between letters. Transferring the design consists of ironing it to the surface of the fabric. It will be durable, stretchable, and machine washable. Instructions will be included with the DTF transfer. That way your design has the flexibility to be added to a t-shirt, hoodie, tote bag, or any piece of fabric. This item can already be owned or bought new, it’s up to the individual.

DEADLINE: NOVEMBER 8, 2025 AT 11:59PM MST

The top (3) submitted designs (chosen by Ecosa’s Board of Directors) will then compete against each other to see which one gets the most votes from alumni and the public.

The winner receives (3) DTF transfers for free!
