TAP-DC Merchandise Design Contest! Big Thanks

Thank you to everyone who participated in the TAP-DC Merchandise Design Contest! We had a great number of submissions, all of which were very well-designed. All designs were assessed anonymously to maintain a fair competition, and after much deliberation, the board of TAP-DC would like to announce that our friend from TAP San Francisco (TAP-SF), Jennifer Chen, has been selected as the winner of the contest! Jennifer will be receiving a free TAP-DC T-shirt printed with her design, as well as a dozen cookies of her choice, made by TAP-DC's own Jennifer Chen (same name, different person). Congratulations to Jennifer of TAP-SF! Thank you again to everyone who submitted a design!
