For those who joined us in Hoboken, you may remember Joe Hughto and Ilan Seid-Green announcing the next plan for Northeast Judge Swag. Judge hoodies are sweet, and in the near future we will have our own region specific ones. But first, they need your help!

There are two parts of this process that need assistance.

Logo Design Contest

First thing first we need a sweet logo to use on the hoodie, our own unique one like other regions have done.

How will it work? Anybody can submit a design idea. This idea can be a sketch, and written description, or any other method you have of imparting the idea to others! Don’t worry about your artistic skill or lack thereof, you do not need to create a final drawing, just the idea. Once we have everybody’s ideas, we will have a period of voting where the region chooses their favorite concept. Once that contest is chosen, we’ll ship it off to a graphic designer for the final art.

What’s in it for me? Every person who submits a design will have Ilan’s personal gratitude and a handshake, high five, or hug (your choice!). Even better, the person whose design is selected will receive a hoodie completely free! That’s right, if your idea is the one we choose, you’ll receive one of the brand new hoodies on us!

Note: If multiple people submit the same idea, we will credit the person who submitted earlier. So submit early and often!

Can I submit more than one design? Absolutely! The more the better! The more designs we have, the more chance we’ll have something incredible (and I know we’ll end up with something incredible!), and the more times you submit, the better your odds of winning! It’s a win-win really, so go ahead and submit every idea you have.

When do I need to submit this by? The idea submission window will end on Friday, July 22nd at 11:59PM Eastern Standard Time. We’ll take some time to review the submissions, and then the voting process will start a few days later.

How do I submit my idea? Email Ilan at iseidgreen@gmail.com with your idea description or sketch. Please use the subject line “Northeast Logo Submission – [Your Name]” as the subject line so he can keep them all sorted. He’ll respond either accepting your idea or asking for more detail, so keep your eye on your email after submitting.

Graphic Designer

Graphic Designer? That’s right, we’ll need a graphic designer to do the final art! If you are a graphic designer, or know a graphic designer who may be interested, please let Ilan know! Email him at iseidgreen@gmail.com about it, or message him on Facebook. Please include some examples of your previous design work. In return for creating the art, the graphic designer will receive Judge Promotional Foil(s). We don’t have details on which foils yet, but he promises they’ll make them good!

Any questions should be directed to Ilan.
