Rules and Details

Design guidelines:

• It must be work appropriate.
• There are no restrictions on colors, but keep in mind that the more detailed/multi-colored the graphic, the costlier it will be for NICAR to print the shirts.
• It should include #NICAR20 to celebrate the 2020 data journalism conference.
• By sending in the suggestion to NICAR, you don’t retain rights to the final T-shirt. (This does not include bragging rights, which the designer will maintain in perpetuity.)
