AusME 2024 Design Competition has now closed!
Attention all creatives!
AusME24 wants your help to create our new conference merch. This year, we will be hosting our first ever design competition to turn your artwork into AusME’s official conference merchandise. Available for pre-order, with limited stock available for purchase at the conference, your design could be featured on t-shirts worn by delegates to commemorate the event.
Here’s what you will need to do:
Produce an original design that incorporates ‘AusME24’ and the spirit of microbial ecology. Designs will be voted on and the winner’s artwork will be used for our conference in October.
The guidelines that were for submission to the competition are below:
