TAP-DC is hosting a merchandise design contest! This contest is open to EVERYONE, so you do NOT have to be a member of TAP-DC to participate. We encourage you to get creative!!

Please include 2 images as attachments in your email submission: 1 high-quality image of the design itself, 1 image of the design placed on a T-shirt (see example images below)
