Official Rules

The theme of the contest is Care For All. You can include those words in your design, but you don’t have to; ultimately, designs should reflect the theme, and we want to see your creativity shine through in your interpretation of what it means to Care For All. Besides that, there are no rules! Just kidding, there are rules:

  • This contest is open only to St. Charles caregivers. We want to see your original design, not one created by artificial intelligence or your graphic artist friend. Also: Please don’t infringe on existing copyrights! 
  • Visual submissions are required – no written descriptions of an idea – preferably uploaded as a digital file (JPG, PNG, TIFF, PSD, EPS, PDF) below. If you want to create something on paper, you can upload a photo of it. To drop off a physical submission, email marketing@stcharleshealthcare.org
  • Your design should not include references to any specific department(s). It should be proudly wearable by anyone and everyone at St. Charles. 
  • Submissions deadline March 20, 2024. Entries will be narrowed down by Communications and Marketing and finalists will be opened to a system-wide vote to determine the winner. 
  • Winner will be announced during Nurses and Health Care Week in May. 
  • Communications and Marketing will manipulate the winning entry as needed to create a print-ready file. Every effort will be made to retain the design and spirit of the caregiver’s original submission. 
  • The winning caregiver will not receive compensation other than a free T-shirt with their design and the satisfaction of seeing their design on their fellow St. Charles caregivers this summer and beyond. 
  • The winning design will be printed on a short-sleeved T-shirt, which will be made available in the St. Charles Sparks store in May.
