Charity uses t-shirt design competition for promotions

Tuesday 10th of October 2006 12:40:00 PM

A US-based charity is using a t-shirt design competition to promote its work, according to a report.

The United Service Organizations (USO) Okinawa, a non-profit organisation which aims to provide support for the armed forces, recently launched a t-shirt design contest for its 2007 t-shirts.

T-shirt designs must encompass "all that the USO does", Shari Jenson, a spokesperson for the charity told Stars and Stripes.

"Originality is important," she added. "Something original and trendy would be kind of nice."

The winner will receive a cash prize and will see their t-shirt design on the back of USO's t-shirts for next year.

Other charities to have used t-shirts to promote their cause include Greenpeace, who recently launched a competition as part of a campaign against the use of toxic chemicals in computers.

U2 singer Bono has also recently launched a new t-shirt to promote the treatment of Aids victims in Africa.
