South Lake Tahoe Police Canine Association Logo Design Contest

The South Lake Tahoe Police Canine Association is looking for an exciting new logo for the upcoming K-9 Trial in October 2013. We invite you to participate in our logo design contest. Please plan on submitting your creative design today and the submissions deadline is June 30, 2013.

The winning logo design will be printed on the backs of our T-shirts, sweatshirts, trophies and other K9 Trial paraphernalia. This is a wonderful opportunity to give your design idea public attention and a published portfolio piece.

The winning designer will receive $100 and a sweat shirt and t-shirt with their logo. Photos of the winning design and pictures of the designer (at the designer’s discretion) will be featured on our website, www.sltpca.org. The winner will also be invited to attend the K9 Trial banquet on October 5th as a guest of SLTPCA and will be publically recognized as the designer in the Tahoe Tribune.

Design specifications are as follows:

· The Canine Trial is a family event. No language or images which might be offensive will be considered.

· K9’s depicted in the logo should be either a German Shepard or Belgian Malinois.

· We cannot consider designs which feature skulls or depict K9’s which are "overly aggressive".

All designs must be submitted by midnight on June 30th and can be left at the front counter of the South Lake Tahoe Police Department 24 hours a day. No submissions will be accepted after this deadline and the winner will be selected approximately two to three weeks after submission.

All submissions should be original art work, mounted on a hard surface and protected by a cover sheet to prevent damage to the art work. The winning logo will be scanned into an EPS or AI format. By submitting your art work to SLTPCA the winning designer agrees that SLTPCA will own all rights to the artwork and we will publish and use the art work at our discretion. The designer further agrees not to publish or use this artwork in any way without obtaining permission from SLTPCA in writing. This does not prohibit the winning designer to add this piece and/or display to their portfolio.

Except for these guidelines we want all contestants to feel free to be as creative as possible and do not want to guide anyone in any single direction. SLTPCA wants an exciting and original logo.

Please go to www.SLTPCA.org to sign up for this contest. It is imperative that we have your contact information in case we need to contact the designers. If you have any questions please contact us at sltpca.org and send us an e-mail or e-mail us your phone number and we will call you back. We know there are some talented artists who make Lake Tahoe their home and we are looking forward to seeing their submissions to our contest. We are anxious to see how our work/skill/mission will be interpreted by them.
