Draw Pride’s logo
Philly Pride Presents is seeking submissions for a logo-design contest for this summer’s Pride.
The 2011 parade and festival will be themed “Pride Around the World,” and the winning design will be used for its promotional materials and throughout the June 12 event.
Professional designers, artists or marketing companies are not permitted to enter.
Only one design per person will be allowed, and duplications of other companies’ or organizations’ logos will be disqualified.
All entries must be mailed or dropped off in person to 252 S. 12th St., Philadelphia, PA 19107, and must include a hard copy of the logo, a JPEG on a disc and a written release stating Philly Pride is permitted to use the logo for whatever purpose, whether it is the selected winner or not.
The winner will receive $200, a write-up in the Pride program guide and the choice of riding in the parade or serving as a guest judge.
Entries must be submitted by Feb. 28. The winner will be selected the first week of March by three community leaders and a representative of Philly Pride Presents. n
