Logo Competition Open to UK Employees, Students
LEXINGTON, Ky. (Feb. 8, 2010) − The Southern Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Colleges (SACSCOC) has announced a logo design competition for students, faculty, staff, alumni, and retirees of member institutions, which includes the University of Kentucky.
Due to the recent separate incorporation of the commission from the association, a new logo is needed independant from the SACS seal. The winning logo will become the property of SACSCOC and will be presented at its annual meeting in December 2010. The new logo will be phased in and will completely replace the current logo that appears on Web pages, stationery, business cards, and official publications of the organization.
Prizes for the competition include: first prize: $500; second prize: $300; and third prize: $200. The deadline for receiving entries is Friday, April 30, 2010.
