NICAR T-Shirt Contest

tHE WINNING DESIGNS


Proposal 1	Proposal 16

Congratulations to Ben Welsh, Los Angeles Times, who submitted Proposal 1. Welsh worked with a hip hop typographer he refers to as Tone to create the shirt. Congratulations as well to Anthony DeBarros, USA Today, who submitted Proposal 16. Because of how close the voting turned out, IRE decided to print both the first and second place T-shirts. Both shirts will be available for sale at the 2012 CAR Conference. Here is how the voting broke down among the top five.

	First Place Votes	Second Place Votes	Third Place Votes	Total Votes Received	Points*	Rank
Proposal 1	19	12	6	37	106	1
Proposal 16	13	19	11	43	101	2
Proposal 8	13	9	8	30	78	3
Proposal 15	10	7	12	29	66	4
Proposal 9	11	6	7	24	63	5

*Points were awarded for each vote based on the following formula: First place vote = 4 points. Second place vote = 2 points. Third place vote = 1 point.

Thank you to everyone who submitted ideas and voted. We look forward to holding a similar contest again in the future. Below are the designs that were submitted by IRE members.
